(Katy Perry)
( Am Bb Bb C Dm Dm )
I know a place
Where the grass is really greener
Warm, wet and wild
There must be something in the water
Sippin’ gin and juice
Laying underneath the palm trees
The boys
Break their necks
Try’na to creep a little sneak peek
(at us)
C Dm
You could travel the world
Bb
But nothing comes close
to the golden coast
C Dm
Once you party with us
Bb
You’ll be falling in love
Oooooh Oh Oooooh
[Refrão](Am Bb Bb C Dm Dm)
