Intro:

Bb             F                  A
  It's a paradise and it calls my name

But I can't keep taking holidays

Verse 1:
Dm
  It's a paradox-seeking paradise
             Bb
Thought I'd try my luck and roll it up like a pair of dice
        G7
Took a break from being present in the presence of a lesson
         C                              A
I ain't trying to hear the message, I escape the pain with pleasure, uh
Dm                                   Bb
  Takin' holidays, eatin' bolongese, wearin' Prada shades
                                   G7
Sippin' Chardonnay, check the Cartier watch
                               C
Watch, everything in gold chains
          A                       Dm
Melt down everything in gold flames

Idols living in my heart, what's wrong with me?
Bb
All I need is time and time's controlling me
G7                                           C
Play the game so long, I know it's no winning
                 A                      Dm
Left the holiday to get some soul healing
                                     Bb
Feel like I deserve to have Miami vices
                                             G7
But every fleeting pleasure come with sacrifices

This is not a liberty, it's license
C                        N.C.
Every holiday got hidden prices, yikes

Chorus:
Bb          F             A
  Hold my heart, hold my face
             Dm       C    Bb
I spent too long on this vacation
            F                   A
I flew too high, I love the escape
                                   Bb
But I think it's time to land this plane
         F                  A
No more fireworks, no more chase
         Dm        C        Bb
I can't keep that type of pace
             F                   A
It's a paradise and it calls my name
                            N.C. Bb F A
But I can't keep taking holidays
         Dm         C         Bb
I can't keep taking holidays, oh
            F                    A
It's a paradise and it calls my name
                               Dm
But I can't keep taking holidays

Verse 2:
                                               Bb
Life and time are precious, so I live it slowly
                                         G7
Let go of the perp like it's a new parolee
                                     C
Engine going out, I was losing my drive
                     A                    Dm
Truth is all around, but I'm choosing a lie
                                                     Bb
Who would've thought I'd be trusted to be a caretaker?

On the beach, getting twisted without a hair braider
G7
Laugh now, prepare later, rare flavor, fare saver
C                      A                      Dm
  Seeking vanity, it's empty, I'm an air chaser

If I had to say it honestly
           Bb
I was too afraid to face my demons 'cause I wanted what they promised me
G7
  A hand full of lies about resting
C                                      A
Don't look at the wreckage, just drink away your depression
Dm
  You could prolly kill your anxiety with possessions
Bb
Wrestle for a second before I ignore the message
G7
I don't want the lesson they tryna teach
                   C                                      N.C.
They offer you the world, best believe it don't come with peace, capiche?

Chorus:
Bb          F             A
  Hold my heart, hold my face
             Dm        C     Bb
I spent too long on this vacation
            F                   A
I flew too high, I love the escape
                                    Bb
But I think it's time to land this plane
         F                  A
No more fireworks, no more chase
        Dm        C        Bb
I can't keep that type of pace
            F                    A
It's a paradise and it calls my name

But I can't keep taking, I can't keep taking
                        N.C. Bb F
I can't keep taking holidays
 A            Dm        C          Bb
Oh, I can't keep taking holidays, oh
             F                  A
It's a paradise and it calls my name

But I can't keep taking holidays
