[ G ] From a week in paradise [ C ] I got used to
[ D ] Holdin' you close ev'ry [ G ] night
As we come down from the clouds and [ C ] touch the ground
You're [ D ] squeezin' my hand so tight
[ C ] But if paradise is [ D ] behind us where we [ G ] learned less is really [ Em ] more
[ C ] And all we needed was each [ D ] other
[ C ] Then what the [ D ] hell are we comin' back [ G ] for
Chorus:
Let's turn around and [ D ] run
Back to the sea and the [ G ] sun
D?n't need much to have [ D ] fun
Just some lotion and some [ G ] rum
We can snorkel for [ C ] free
Or make love on the [ Em ] beach
Lay around in the [ C ] sun
Smartest thing we've ever [ D ] done
Let's turn around and [ G ] run
This pile of a city's so full of people
Buzzin' around like flies
All stressed out in their ev'ryday world
Dressed up in their suits and ties
Tryin' to achieve the next level
With a bonus they can buy a new car
Or a house where they keep their family
They think those things are who they are...
Chorus
We were suffering from a delusion
That we could leave all this behind
No choice but collect our baggage
Get ready for that 8 to 5 grind
As we lugged our way to the exit
I could see the question in her eyes
So I answered with a smile and I grabbed her hand
Last plane back to paradise
Chorus 2X
Lay around in the [ C ] sun
Smartest thing we've ever [ D ] done
Let's turn around and [ G ] run!
