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


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


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