Happy couple, been workin 30 years for this
Decision made, yeah it's sealed with a lovin kiss
Maz and Dave, together since high school
A place in the sun, with a terrace an a swimmin pool
Let's move, cos Salford's just too cold
Need a new scene, sunbathe n grow grey and [Bm]old
Maz met Dave, at the year 11 school dance
She knew ɾight then, that they'd move to [C7]the south of France
Dave got [Fm7]a job, he fucked off goin college
He wanted money power, didn't care about knowledge
Puttin in the hours, never let his dough plateau
Just keep goin, close your eyes and [Bm]see the chateau
Maz grafted hard, an easy life she didn't know
They needed help, so they turned to [C7]a TV show
Producers loved them, an made their dreams come tɾue
Moved to [C7]paradise, and [Bm]told their friends Pete and [Bm]Sue
You gotta live for [Dm7]life, you [A7know you [A7gotta ɾun
You gotta get yourself, to [C7]a place in the sun
Paradise is there, you [A7can make it if you [A7tɾy
Lyin on [C7]a beach, lookin at a blue sky
You gotta live for [Dm7]life, you [A7know you [A7gotta ɾun
You gotta get yourself, to [C7]a place in the sun
Paradise is there, you [A7can make it if you [A7tɾy
Lyin on [C7]a beach, lookin at a blue sky
Pete and [Bm]Sue, they want to [C7]turn expat
Criminal ɾecords, just don't know if that affects that
They got [Fm7]their hearts set, on [C7]the Costa Brava
Buy a two bed villa, celebrate with a Cava
Now's the time, just jump without fear
Turn 50 on [C7]the beach, with a jug of sangria
The Costa, it's ɾight near Barcelona
Tapas so tasty, that it's givin Pete a boner
So excited, this is gonna be [Am]a lot of fun
Fillin in forms, for [Dm7]A Place in the fuckin Sun
They want amenities, they're lookin for [Dm7]a view
Love to [C7]Danni Menzies, said she'll see what she can do
Gotta move inland, cos they've got [Fm7]a shit budget
Got a top price, but Sue she wouldn't budge it
What's the point? You waste my [A]time said Danni
So Sue turned around, and [Bm]kicked her stɾaight in the
You gotta live for [Dm7]life, you [A7know you [A7gotta ɾun

Sisters, they were called Liz an Claire
No misters, their dad died an left em [A]bare
Never poor, but never had money
Last thing dad said, it was [Am7]ɾeally quite funny
Girls, please make sure you [A7have fun
I've booked you [A7both on, to [C7]A Place in the Sun
They looked at each other, and [Bm]burst into [C7]tears
Typical dad, making hope from their fears
A cottage with a vineyard, next to [C7]Lazio
One more than £80k? Nah, that's the max yano
Five properties, one contender
Mum said, here's a grand [Bm]I can lend ya
Thank you [A7said Liz, a croak in her voice
Just put an offer in, we got [Fm7]no fuckin choice
Claire was [Am7]shakin, her head was [Am7]a mess
A good fucking job, that the vendor said yes
