    Loosen up, uh huh, that’s what I tell myself in these situations, yeah
    .....Dmaj7......C#m7.Bm7.................C#m7......D#m7...........C#m7..Bm7...C#m7

    But when I went inside you went with him

    ......E..................F#m.....................E......................F#m
    And I told myself it was too much heaven just to see you walking into a 7-11
    .........E........................F#m........................E.....................D
    And I’ll let you believe what you want to believe but it was never up for grabs to go

    ...........Dmaj7...........C#m7..Bm7
    Except for sit and watch it go away

    Glo-Worm - Holiday

    Capo 1
    I voice G6 like 3-5-5-4-3-0

    G6...........Dmaj7
    Let's take a holiday
    ..G6.........Dmaj7
    A getaway to cool our heads
    G6..................Dmaj7
    Drive real fast and not turn back
    ...G6............Dmaj7
    Forget the awful things we said

    Bm7...C9
    We'll climb the treetops

    G6........Dmaj7
    A perfect holiday
    ...G6..............Dmaj7
    We need at least a month or two
    ...G6.................Dmaj7
    To drive real far and sort things out
    ..G6............Dmaj7
    Remember what I saw in you

    Bm7...C9
    We'll climb the treetops
    Bm7...C9
    We'll count the stars

    Dmaj7.............Em7
    Countless times I wished you gone
    ....F#m11...........G6............Dmaj7
    But didn't count on wishes coming true
    Dmaj7......Em7..............F#m11
    I drove to other towns with other men
    .....G6
    but none of them was you

    Dmaj7......Em7
    I dream of other loves
    ....F#m11.................G6............Dmaj7
    But those are dreams from which I always wake
    Dmaj7..........Em7
    It's dark, the stars are out
    ......F#m11.............G6
    Let's drive the longest road there is to take

    G6........Dmaj7
    A holiday
    G6.................Dmaj7
    Go somewhere we've never been
    G6..................Dmaj7
    Drive real fast and drive real far
    G6...................Dmaj7
    Kiss and make things right again

    (repeat prechorus & chorus, end on Dmaj7)
