Paradise Is You
View chords used in this chart
G
Walking along on a sandy beach
Dm
Everybody's laughing under cigarette trees
F C
And the water here is crystal clear and bright
G
The air is rich with a hawaiian breeze
Dm
The grass is alive with sugar weeds
F C
And the hill tops tuck in the bay for the night
Am
And the palm trees make it feel like paradise
G
But without you here there's nothing nice
F
'Cos in your eyes
That's my paradise
(Chorus:)
F
When all the roads ahead of me stop looking new
G
My paradise is you, my paradise is you
F
When everything I know is slipping out of view
G
My paradise is you, my paradise is you
F
You
G
My heaven is you
( G Dm F C )
The runners run and the teasers tease
But none of these faces can set me free
And the water here is crystal clear and bright
When I compare this pleasure beach
To all the places in your eyes that I have seen
It could be anywhere
If you're not by my side
Am
And the palm trees make it feel like paradise
G
But without you here there's nothing nice
F
'Cos in your eyes
That's my paradise
(Chorus)
( F )
( F G ) keep it until the end
All my love is for you
Darling it's only you who can stop my heart from crying
All my love is for you
Darling it's only you who can stop my heart from crying
(When all the roads ahead of me stop looking new)
(My paradise is you, my paradise is you)
All my love is for youDarling it's only you who can stop my heart from crying
(You)
All my love is for you
Darling it's only you who can stop my heart from crying
(My heaven is you)
All my love is for you
Darling it's only you who can stop my heart from crying
