I don't need to pack a bag
        Cm
I don't need a travel agent
        D#
Islands look cool on a map
          Cm
But can't beat my location
        G#                                   Fm
'Cause when you smile at me, that's all the sunshine
I need
G#                       A#
Any place, any time, any day of the week

Chorus:
A#                       D#
You make me wanna make a margarita
Cm                    D#
You make me wanna put on my shades
Cm                     G#
You take me on a trip around the world
G#
Don't need to hop a plane

When I'm with ya girl, it's like I'm on vacay

You make every day like a holiday

When I've I got you in my arms
I'm a thousand miles away
From any worries in the world
Baby, all of that can wait
Cause swaying to some music while I look
in your eyes
It's pretty easy to see I'm in paradise

Chorus:
You make me wanna make a margarita
You make me wanna put on my shades
You take me on a trip around the world
Don't need to hop a plane
When I'm with you girl, it's like I'm on vacay
I guess what I'm tryin' to say is
You make every day like a holiday
Holiday, baby

G#                                Fm
Everybody's got a photo of their favorite view
     G#                    A#
You can see mine in every picture of you

Chorus:
You make me wanna make a margarita
You make me wanna put on my shades
You take me on a trip around the world
Don't need to hop a plane
When I'm with you girl, it's like I'm on vacay
I guess what I'm tryin' to say is
You make every day like a holiday
Yeah, a holiday, baby
