Lyrics

Gon na put the world a way for a min ute, pre tend I don’t live in it.

Sun shine gon na (Bb)wash my blues a way.

Had sweet love but I lost it; she got too close so I fought it.

Now I’m (Cm)lost in the (Bb)world, try’n’ to (Ab)find me a (Bb)bet ter (Eb)way.

Wish in’ I was knee deep in the wa ter some where; got the (Ab)blue sky, breeze, and it don’t seem fair.

On ly (Eb)wor ry in the world: Is the (Bb)tide gon na reach my (Eb)chair?

Sun rise, there’s a fire in the sky; nev er (Ab)been so hap py, nev er felt so high.

And I (Cm)think I might have (Bb)found me my (Ab)own kind of (Bb)par a (Eb)dise.

Wrote a note, said, “Be back in a min ute.” Bought a boat and I sailed off in it.

Don’t think an y bod y’s gon na (Bb)miss me an y way.

Mind on a per ma nent va ca tion, the o cean is my on ly med i ca tion.

Wish in’ my con (Bb)di tion ain’t ev er gon na (Bb)go a way.

’Cause now I’m

This (Cm)cham pagne shore watch in’ (Eb)o ver me.

It’s a (Bb)sweet, sweet life

liv in’ by the (Eb)salt y sea.

(Ab)One day you could be as (Eb)lost as me.

Change your ge (F7)og ra phy,

may be (Bb)you might be

knee deep in the wa ter some where; got the (Ab)blue sky, breeze blow in’ wind through my hair.

On ly (Eb)wor ry in the world: Is the (Bb)tide gon na reach my (Eb)chair?

Sun rise, there’s a fire in the sky; nev er (Ab)been so hap py, nev er felt so high.

And I (Cm)think I might have (Bb)found me my (Ab)own kind of (Bb)par a (Eb)dise.

(Eb)Come on in, the wa ter’s nice.

(Bb)Find your self a lit tle slice.

(Eb)Grab a bag, (Bb)pack a lunch; you’ll (Cm)nev er know un (Bb)til you try.

When you (F7)lose your self,

you (Bb)find the key to par a (Eb)dise.
