[Intro]
| D | D | D | D |
[Verse 1]
D G
I'd like to think she got all of the postcards that I sent her from the beach
A D
And she must've lost her phone 'cause she never answers when it rings
D G
I coulda sworn the night we met we planned a drip down to the Florida Keys
A D
But my last call recollection isn't really what it oughta be
D G
Now I've got palm trees and sunscreen and little fish nibbling at my feet
A D
And even though she didn't show I went ahead and ordered up two drinks
[Pre-Chorus]
Em G
I could pack it up and leave
D C G
But this ocean view's better than therapy
Em G
I'm stress- and worry-free
D C G
Life is how it oughta be day and night
A A7
I'm alright
[Chorus]
D A
So long I'm wishing you were here
G
I'll send you all a postcard
A A7
I'm gonna stay another year
D A
So long I'm feeling so at home
G
I'll send you all a postcard
A Asus2
I'm right where I belong
[Verse 2]
D
I lost my room key and my koozie but I'm happy as a clam
D
I stamble barefeet down the beach and I'm sleeping in the sand
D G
I'd like to think the greater good has brought me exactly where I am
A D
But if I'm being honest I think dumb luck has helped me out again
D G
Whatever comes my way I'll be okay, so long as I'm surrounded by my friends
A
So bartender, fire the blender up
N.C. D
Let's run it back again
[Pre-Chorus]
Em G
I could pack it up and leave
D C G
But these Mai Tais work better than therapy
Em G
I'm stress- and worry-free
D C G
Life is how it oughta be day and night
A A7
I'm alright
[Chorus]
D A
So long I'm wishing you were here
G
I'll send you all a postcard
A A7
I'm gonna stay a few more years
D A
So long I'm never coming home
G
I'll send you all a postcard
A A7
From right where I belong
D A
So long I'm wishing you were here
G
I'll send you all a postcard
A A7
I'm gonna stay all of my years
D A
So long I'm never coming home
G
I hope you got one of my postcards
A A7
I'm right where I belong
