[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    A
■ 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            D   
No man's an island and his castle isn't home
                        F                 D    
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 ■
D                       F        D        C   
Hey man what's the plan what was that you said
D                       F     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]
F#m7 A                G 
Then the teacher told me
A                 G     
It had been a lot of fun
D          A       G     
Thanked me for his ticket
D A   A7         G       
■ And all that I had done


[Chorus]
C D                  F                      C   
■ Hey man what's the plan what was that you said
D                  F    D              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
