[Intro]
D#mD#m  C#C# BB x2

[Verse 1]
D#mD#m          C#C#  BB
I could lay me down forever
    D#mD#m    C#C#  BB
In the smoky afternoon
D#mD#m                 C#C#  BB
Cause babe, these questions march forever
     D#mD#m          C#C#  BB
And I can see no answers coming soon
D#mD#m               C#C#  BB
The days stop still and so have we now
      D#mD#m            C#C#  BB
Our hungry words left hanging in the air
D#mD#m               C#C#    BB
Give up these needs, forget the hours now
         D#mD#m           C#C#
Cause where we're heading, time no longer cares

[Chorus]
D#mD#m       A#mA#m      C#C#    BB
Forgetting gets easy where the milk and honey run
D#mD#m  A#mA#m  C#C# BB
   (Paradise, paradise)
    D#mD#m    A#mA#m      C#C#     BB
And our sense grow sharp off the fruit of an island sun
D#mD#m  A#mA#m  C#C# BB
   (Paradise, paradise)
D#mD#m     A#mA#m   C#C#    BB
So just lay back and wait for it to come
D#mD#m  A#mA#m  C#C# BB
   (Paradise, paradise)
   D#mD#m     A#mA#m       C#C#   BB
Cause paradise is somewhere where you and I belong
D#mD#m  A#mA#m  C#C# BB
   (Paradise, paradise)

[Verse 2]
D#mD#m             C#C#   BB
The sky's ablaze with colors bursting,
     D#mD#m             C#C#  BB
The tears collect and tumble down our cheeks
D#mD#m             C#C#  BB
With such perfection, we are taken
    D#mD#m           C#C#  BB
By the throat, it has us on our knees

[Chorus]
D#mD#m       A#mA#m      C#C#    BB
Forgetting gets easy where the milk and honey run
D#mD#m  A#mA#m  C#C# BB
   (Paradise, paradise)
    D#mD#m    A#mA#m      C#C#     BB
And our sense grow sharp off the fruit of an island sun
D#mD#m  A#mA#m  C#C# BB
   (Paradise, paradise)
D#mD#m     A#mA#m   C#C#    BB
So just lay back and wait for it to come
D#mD#m  A#mA#m  C#C# BB
   (Paradise, paradise)
   D#mD#m     A#mA#m       C#C#   BB
Cause paradise is somewhere where you and I belong
D#mD#m  A#mA#m  C#C# BB
   (Paradise, paradise)

[Bridge]
D#mD#m    A#mA#m    C#C#       BB
   I've tasted the world, all its flavors
D#mD#m    A#mA#m       C#C#         BB
   I've tried some lash snatched moonlight savor
D#mD#m    A#mA#m     C#C#       BB
   I've had sweet success and sweet failure
D#mD#m     A#mA#m    C#C#   BB         D#mD#m      A#mA#m  C#C#  BB
   But I'm telling you, I'm telling you nothing quite tastes like?
D#mD#m  A#mA#m  C#C#  BB
(Paradise)

[Chorus]
D#mD#m       A#mA#m      C#C#    BB
Forgetting gets easy where the milk and honey run
D#mD#m  A#mA#m  C#C# BB
   (Paradise, paradise)
    D#mD#m    A#mA#m      C#C#     BB
And our sense grow sharp off the fruit of an island sun
D#mD#m  A#mA#m  C#C# BB
   (Paradise, paradise)
D#mD#m     A#mA#m   C#C#    BB
So just lay back and wait for it to come
D#mD#m  A#mA#m  C#C# BB
   (Paradise, paradise)
   D#mD#m     A#mA#m       C#C#   BB
Cause paradise is somewhere where you and I belong
D#mD#m  A#mA#m  C#C# BB
   (Paradise, paradise)

[Tag]
D#mD#m  A#mA#m  C#C#  BB x2
Whooh-ooh oooh-oooh

[Outro]
   D#mD#m     A#mA#m
Cause paradise is somewhere where
C#C#     BB
Paradise is somewhere where
D#mD#m     A#mA#m       C#C#   BB  D#mD#m
