INTRO G C F C (4x) 

VERSE 1
 
F        C      G         C      F 
My raw candy passion is bitter-sweet, 
  C        G 
Onto the teeth, 
  F                C               G 
'Cause she would rather fall in chocolate, 
      C        F      C             G 
Than fall in love, especially with me. 
    Dm    C         F   G 
I stood under the waterfall, 
        Dm     C       F   G    
With a kiwi pineapple parasol, 
Dm     C                     F     G 
As Cinderella dropped the crystal ball,                              
              Am     E7           C         Dm     F    Fm       
And made a concrete cavern of caterpillar concert hall. 

 
                       G   Am  F    C     G   Am  C   F      
I wish that we could sail our sad days away, forever, 
     G   Am   F        C     G     
In deep blue seas of paper maché, 
         Am             C 
(Let's dance in the moonlight!) 
      F         G    Am  F    C    G    Am  C  F 
 A barracuda chased our dog days away, forever, 
       G   Am   F        C            G 
Let's sink or swim, 'til we fall in love, 
       Am            C 
(And dance in the moonlight!) 
      F             C 
 When we join The Yacht Club.

F              C     G            C            F 
I would rather go swimming with great white sharks, 
      C         G    C 
Than wade in romance, 
F                   C         G         C           F         C        G 
'Cause I can never find the courage to ask her to dinner, or even to dance, 
Dm            C         F    G    
Don't sweat under your overcoat, 
            Dm          C          F      G 
'Cause my heart can't hover this paddle boat, 
 Dm              C              F      G 
You'll hit the bottom of the highest note, 
           Am   E7               C          Dm          F    Fm 
And the chatty tree frogs will never wanna leave your throat. 


                       G   Am  F    C     G   Am  C   F      
I wish that we could sail our sad days away, forever, 
     G   Am   F        C     G     
In deep blue seas of paper maché, 
         Am             C 
(Let's dance in the moonlight!) 
      F         G    Am  F    C    G    Am  C  F 
 A barracuda chased our dog days away, forever, 
       G   Am   F        C            G 
Let's sink or swim, 'til we fall in love, 
       Am            C 
(And dance in the moonlight!) 
      F             C 
 When we join The Yacht Club.

BRIDGE 
 Dm              C 
(Let go of the world you know, 
      F                 G 
And plug in the party lights) 
Dm                       C 
Soak your cares in the solar flares, 
       F                     G 
That light up these island nights, 
   Dm                    C 
(Orange eclipse, I can taste your lips, 
         F        G 
In the citrus afternoon) 
Dm                      C 
If you can fly, don't stop at the sky, 
                   F              G 
'Cause there's footprints on the Moon. 
         C 
(It was you...)
