1.    Gonna put the the world away for a minute,

F

    pretend I don't live in it,

C                              G                         C

    sunshine gonna wash my blues away.

C

     Had sweet love but I lost it,

F

    she got too close, so I fought her,

                 Am              G                   F              G         C

    now I'm lost in the world trying to find me a better way.

 

                       - C

Wishing I was        knee deep in the water somewhere,

               F

got the blue sky breeze and it don't seem fair,

           C                                 G                                  C  

only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair.

C

    Sunrise, there's a fire in the sky,

              F

never been so happy, never felt so high,

          Am                        G                   F                  G    C

and I think I might have found me my own kind of paradise.

2.     Wrote a note said “be back in a minute”,

F

    bought a boat and I sailed off in it,

    don't think anybody's gonna miss me anyway.

C

    Mind on a permanent vacation,

F

    the ocean is my only medication,

     Am                      G            F                G      C

    wishing my condition ain't ever gonna go away.

 

                          - C

’Cause now I'm         knee deep in the water somewhere,

               F

got the blue sky breeze blowing wind through my hair,

only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair.

and I think I might have found me my own kind of paradise.

 

       Am                                            C

+  This champagne shore washing over me,

                 G                                         C           - C7

    it's a sweet, sweet life living by the salty sea.

      F                                      C

    One day you could be as lost as me,

    change your geography, maybe you might be….

+  Come on in, the water's nice, find yourself a little slice,

        C              Am                     G                              F

    grab a backpack of lies, you never know until you try.

                      D7                        G                            C

    When you lose yourself, you find the key to paradise
