[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
Don'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!
