I live on the twenty-second floor
I am a city girl
  A minorAm                       E minorEm
At least I was till I fell for the guy who's gotta sail around the world
DmDm               E minorEm
Never really believed it till I saw the sails unfurl

And everything was just so great right up to when I hurled

Drift on down where the tropics lie

I’ve known adventures, uncharted reefs
A minorAm               E minorEm
Eating maritime delicacies like canned corned beef
DmDm                 E minorEm
Makes me think of my dog
I had to leave my dog, what grief

I left my home and my grown-up kids - okay, so that was a relief

Every moment together, every moment total bliss

It’s too damn hot for a serious cuddle, better settle for a little kiss
    DmDm                E minorEm
Oh
Virginia Wolfe, a roof of my own, is something I really miss
A minorAm                  DmDm       G+G
Funny how endearments sound when they come out with a hiss

    A minorAm              E minorEm
Now the joys of pan laundry are mine

G+G
Drift on down where the tropics lie

🎸 Bridge:
     A minorAm
When you promised me the moon
E minorEm      DmDm          G+G
I understood you couldn’t actually hand it to me
     A minorAm               E minorEm
So when I said I would follow you to the ends of the earth
DmDm             G+G
Did you have to take it so literally?

🎸 Interlude:
A minorAm E minorEm G+G

🎸 Verse 5:
      A minorAm         E minorEm
But then he brings me a sunset with a green flash
    A minorAm         E minorEm
And he gives me a bow wave where the dolphins splash
DmDm              E minorEm
We go dancin’ on the beach in our bare feet
A minorAm                     DmDm    G+G
Life doesn’t get much better than this, so I admit defeat because

DmDm          G+G      A minorAm
But could we go home for a visit please
