Bare with me, I started playing for my 50th birthday and am only playing 2 years.
Could use the guidance and corrections...
G C
From a week in paradise I got used to
D G
Holdin' you close ev'ry night
C
As we come down from the clouds and touch the ground
D
You're squeezin' my hand so tight
C D G Em
But if paradise is behind us where we learned less is really more
C D
And all we needed was each other
C D G
Then what the hell are we comin' back for
Chorus:
D
Let's turn around and run
G
Back to the sea and the sun
D
Don't need much to have fun
G
Just some lotion and some rum
C
We can snorkel for free
Em
Or make love on the beach
C
Lay around in the sun
D
Smartest thing we've ever done
G
Let's turn around and run
This pile of a city's so full of people
Buzzin' around like flies
All stressed out in their ev'ryday world
Dressed up in their suits and ties
Tryin' to achieve the next level
With a bonus they can buy a new car
Or a house where they keep their family
They think those things are who they are...
Chorus
We were suffering from a delusion
That we could leave all this behind
No choice but collect our baggage
Get ready for that 8 to 5 grind
As we lugged our way to the exit
I could see the question in her eyes
So I answered with a smile and I grabbed her hand
Last plane back to paradise
Chorus 2X
C
Lay around in the sun
D
Smartest thing we've ever done
G
Let's turn around and run!
