[Verse]
     A            G     
Well the dawn was coming
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
A                       G  
■ 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                 Bm7  
The nest is for nothing when the bird has flown
A Bm7 E A E

[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 ■
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                          D7              Bm7 
What I was looking for got something on my mind

[Verse]
                      G 
Then the teacher told me
D A                    G  
■ It had been a lot of fun
D          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               B7  
What I was looking for got something on my mind
