My friend the communist, holds meetings in his R.V
    E               A          E                    A
I can't afford his gas, so I'm stuck here watching T.V
 
    
     E          A           E                A

     E                     A     E                      A
It's not having what you want, its wanting what you've got

I'm gonna soak up the sun, gonna tell everyone to lighten up
                        E                 B

I'm gonna soak up the sun
    
 
     E             A      E                 A
I've got a crummy job, it don't pay near enough
     E                 A        E                   A
to buy the things it take, to win me some of your love

Before it goes out on me
 
   
         E           A         E                   A
Don't have no master suite, but I'm still the king of me
            E       A               E                A
