Verse:
G+G           C majorC
The phone, it has been ringing
D MajorD         G+G
 Ringing off the hook
    G+G
And the creditors have said
   C majorC              D MajorD
That all of your debts have grown legs
            G+G
And are running off the books
  G+G      C majorC
Correctional facilities
D MajorD            G+G
 Sure, I'll accept your calls
    G+G
But the tales have grown tall
    C majorC
And the till isn't at all
          D MajorD          G+G
And tears are only bread crumbs for the crooks
    E minorEm        A minorAm
And my pay check, it is bleeding
     G+G    C majorC
But it's fight or flight
  G+G     C majorC         A minorAm
The exit from debt could be the entrance
     C majorC
Into paradise
     G+G  G/AG/A G/BG/B   C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm
Into paradi-yi-i-yi-ise
  G+G  G/AG/A G/BG/B   C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm  C majorC C/DC/D
Paradi-yi-i-yi-ise

Verse:
G+G         C majorC
What are you doing daytimes?
D MajorD              G+G
Shooting out your windows, I bet
    G+G
But the flocks of your dreams
     C majorC
Know that it's hunting season
    D MajorD            G+G
It's a joke that you'll never get
        G+G         C majorC
Because wooden ducks, they do not bleed
D MajorD        G+G
 And try as you might
     G+G
The only goose that you'll bite
       C majorC
Is the goose egg you call your wife
     D MajorD             G+G
When the bars announce it's closing time
    E minorEm         A minorAm
And my heart, it is still beating
     G+G    C majorC
But it's fight or flight
   G+G       C majorC    A minorAm
The exit from loneliness is not necessarily
           C majorC
The entrance into paradise
     G+G  G/AG/A G/BG/B   C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm
Into paradi-yi-i-yi-ise
  G+G  G/AG/A G/BG/B   C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm   C majorC C/DC/D
Paradi-yi-i-yi-ise


Verse:
  G+G                 C majorC
Of all the men I've known who've had money
D MajorD        G+G
 I like you the most
       G+G
Because every dollar you invent
      C majorC
You're even more hell-bent
      D MajorD             G+G
On risking life and limb for another toast
       G+G      C majorC
When we were falling into puddles
D MajorD             G+G
 I knew you had it in for me
      G+G
Scraped my face on the ground
   C majorC
Until blood was down me
    D MajorD           G+G
From my nose to the hem of my jeans
    E minorEm         A minorAm
And my heart, it is still beating
     G+G    C majorC
But it's fight or flight
   G+G       C majorC
The exit from loneliness
       A minorAm        C majorC
Could be the entrance into paradise
     G+G  G/AG/A G/BG/B   C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm
Into paradi-yi-i-yi-ise
  G+G  G/AG/A G/BG/B   C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm
Paradi-yi-i-yi-ise
  G+G  G/AG/A G/BG/B   C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm
Paradi-yi-i-yi-ise
  G+G  G/AG/A G/BG/B   C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm  C majorC G+G
Paradi-yi-i-yi-ise
