w/intro riff:
My friend
the communist
Holds meetings in his RV
I can’t afford his gas
So I’m stuck here watching TV
I don’t have digital
I don’t have diddly squat
It’s not having what you want
It’s wanting what you’ve got
CHORUS:
D (2) A (2)
I’m gonna soak up the sun
Em
Gonna tell everyone
G A (2)
To lighten up (I’m gonna tell 'em that)
D (2) A (2)
I’ve got no one to blame
Em
For every time I feel lame
G A (2)
I’m looking up--I’m gonna soak up the sun

It don’t pay near enough
To buy the things it takes
To win me some of your love
Bridge:

Every time I turn around
C (½) G (½)

riff:
While it’s still free
I’m gonna soak up the sun
Before it goes out on me
Don’t have no master suite
I’m still the king of me
You have a fancy ride, but baby
I’m the one who has the key
