Paradise Is You

Key: GMedium

WalkinGg along on a sandy beach

DmEverybody's laughing under cigarette trees

And the Fwater here is crystal clear and bCright

The Gair is rich with a hawaiian breeze

The Dmgrass is alive with sugar weeds

And the hFill tops tuck in the bay for the nCight

And the pAmalm trees make it feel like paradise

But wGithout you here there's nothing nice

'Cos in Fyour eyes

That's my paradise

Chorus:

FWhen all the roads ahead of me stop looking new

My pGaradise is you, my paradise is you

When eFverything I know is slipping out of view

My pGaradise is you, my paradise is you

FYou

My heaven is Gyou

ThGe DmrunFneCrs run and the teasers tease

But none of these faces can set me free

And the water here is crystal clear and bright

When I compare this pleasure beach

To all the places in your eyes that I have seen

It could be anywhere

If you're not by my side

And the pAmalm trees make it feel like paradise

But wGithout you here there's nothing nice

'Cos in Fyour eyes

That's my paradise

Chorus

( F G ) keep it until the end

All my love is for you

Darling it's only you who can stop my heart from crying

All my love is for you

Darling it's only you who can stop my heart from crying

(When all the roads ahead of me stop looking new)

(My paradise is you, my paradise is you)

All my love is for youDarling it's only you who can stop my heart from crying

(You)

All my love is for you

Darling it's only you who can stop my heart from crying

(My heaven is you)

All my love is for you

Darling it's only you who can stop my heart from crying

I'm having fun, don't put me down

I'll never let you sweep me off my feet

I won't let you in again

My information's just not goin in

Burning bridges, shore to shore

To walk away from something when it's dead

Do do do your dirty worst

Come out to play when you are hurt

There's certain things that should be

Left unsaid

Tick tick tick tick on the watch

Life's too short for me to stop

Oh baby, your time is running out

I won't let you turn around

And tell me now, I'm much too proud

All you do is fill be up with doubt

Tropical Chancer

Key: DmEasy

( Dm F Am G ) throughout the song, except for the very ending Instrumental

He'll take the money and the food that's in your hand

But you have to understand that he's a dreamer

Living my life within a mile you could believe

This place turns honest men to thieves

And I could see it in his eyes

He was the type to sail off in the night

Chorus:

I met him through a dancer

Didn't know he was a tropical chancer

A tropical chancer, didn't know he was a tropical chancer

I met him through a dancer

Didn't know he was a tropical chancer

A tropical chancer, didn't know he was a tropical chancer

He'll trade your loving for the things he's never seen

The places he has never been

Oh but remember he is just a good pretender

And he doesn't give his love away for free

And I could see it in his eyes

He was the type to sail off in the night

(Chorus 2x)
