Josef Salvat's songs sound best played on piano, but if playing guitar,
transpose chords -1 and use Capo 1 for easier chords.
[Intro]
D#m C# B x2
[Verse 1]
D#m C# B
I could lay me down forever
D#m C# B
In the smoky afternoon
D#m C# B
Cause babe, these questions march forever
D#m C# B
And I can see no answers coming soon
D#m C# B
The days stop still and so have we now
D#m C# B
Our hungry words left hanging in the air
D#m C# B
Give up these needs, forget the hours now
D#m C#
Cause where we're heading, time no longer cares
[Chorus]
D#m A#m C# B
Forgetting gets easy where the milk and honey run
D#m A#m C# B
(Paradise, paradise)
D#m A#m C# B
And our sense grow sharp off the fruit of an island sun
D#m A#m C# B
(Paradise, paradise)
D#m A#m C# B
So just lay back and wait for it to come
D#m A#m C# B
(Paradise, paradise)
D#m A#m C# B
Cause paradise is somewhere where you and I belong
D#m A#m C# B
(Paradise, paradise)
[Verse 2]
D#m C# B
The sky's ablaze with colors bursting,
D#m C# B
The tears collect and tumble down our cheeks
D#m C# B
With such perfection, we are taken
D#m C# B
By the throat, it has us on our knees
[Chorus]
D#m A#m C# B
Forgetting gets easy where the milk and honey run
D#m A#m C# B
(Paradise, paradise)
D#m A#m C# B
And our sense grow sharp off the fruit of an island sun
D#m A#m C# B
(Paradise, paradise)
D#m A#m C# B
So just lay back and wait for it to come
D#m A#m C# B
(Paradise, paradise)
D#m A#m C# B
Cause paradise is somewhere where you and I belong
D#m A#m C# B
(Paradise, paradise)
[Bridge]
D#m A#m C# B
I've tasted the world, all its flavors
D#m A#m C# B
I've tried some lash snatched moonlight savor
D#m A#m C# B
I've had sweet success and sweet failure
D#m A#m C# B D#m A#m C# B
But I'm telling you, I'm telling you nothing quite tastes like…
D#m A#m C# B
(Paradise)
[Chorus]
D#m A#m C# B
Forgetting gets easy where the milk and honey run
D#m A#m C# B
(Paradise, paradise)
D#m A#m C# B
And our sense grow sharp off the fruit of an island sun
D#m A#m C# B
(Paradise, paradise)
D#m A#m C# B
So just lay back and wait for it to come
D#m A#m C# B
(Paradise, paradise)
D#m A#m C# B
Cause paradise is somewhere where you and I belong
D#m A#m C# B
(Paradise, paradise)
[Tag]
D#m A#m C# B x2
Whooh-ooh oooh-oooh
[Outro]
D#m A#m
Cause paradise is somewhere where
C# B
Paradise is somewhere where
D#m A#m C# B D#m
Paradise is somewhere where you and I belong
