Slummin In Paradise

Key: B

Introduction:  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.
(chorus)
                     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.
(verse 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.
(repeat chorus)
         D 
You won't often see this letter,
       Bm 
Handed over right away.
     A                                                             G 
I know the first time i found you wonderful.
(repeat chorus)
