Slummin In Paradise

Tom: D
Intro: D

      D                 C
I'm a long way off, but still around,
G                                  A
Sitting on the couch, I'm watching you.
         D                     Bm
And if I take my time, all the others give in,
    G                                A
And you feel like you're standing in line.

Bm
I just know that you're worth the wait,
        E
It's of no concern,
                      Bm
It's a risk I'd gladly take.
     E
From time to time.

Refrão:
          D
So, don't worry about yourself at all,
     Bm
I'll hang your work up on my wall,
A                                   G
Hose you down and dress you up real nice.
          D
With some brand new plans and a fancy car,
Bm
Try to place your superstar,
A                              G
You can tell the story of your life,
                        D
Without slummin' in paradise.

Verso 2:
         D               Bm
I wonder how you feel, Or do I?
G                                  A
Standing on the corner, how's your view?

         Bm             E
From the other side, of Mr. Right.
                Bm           E
See, it's not a pretty sight alone.

(Repetir refrão)

    D
You won't often see this letter,
   Bm
Handed over right away.
  A                               G
I know the first time I found you wonderful.
