[Verse]
     A            G     
Well the dawn was coming
D A                       G    D
■ Heard him ringing on my bell ■
        A             G      
He said my name's the teacher
D          A           G      D
Oh that is what I call myself ■
    A        G     
And I have a lesson
D A                     G   D
■ That I must impart to you ■
A           G         
It's an old expression
D A                      G    C
■ But I must insist it's true ■


[Chorus]
D                  
Jump up look around
F             C       
Find yourself some fun
D                         F      C       
No sense in sitting there hating everyone
D                          F            C   
No man's an island and his castle isn't home
    D                   F                      
The nest is for nothing when the bird has flown


[Verse]

A           G      
So I took a journey
D     A                 G   D
Threw my world into the sea ■
        A        G      
With me went the teacher
D     A                    G  C
■ Who found fun instead of me ■


[Chorus]
D                       F                 C   
Hey man what's the plan what was that you said
D                       F     C        D  
Suntanned drink in hand lying there in bed
                       F               C   
I try to socialize but I can't seem to find
D                                              
What I was looking for got something on my mind

[Verse]
A                     G 
Then the teacher told me
D  A              G  D  
It had been a lot of fun
A                  G     
Thanked me for his ticket
D A              G        C
■ And all that I had done ■


[Chorus]
D                  F                      C   
Hey man what's the plan what was that you said
D                  F                   C   D
Suntanned drink in hand lying there in bed ■
         F                             C   
I try to socialize but I can't seem to find
D                  F                       Bm7 
What I was looking for got something on my mind
