INTRO
[] [] [] [] []
[]Every night I go to bed a[]fraid I'm gonna die,
[]Prayin' to the sky that I'll sur[]vive.[]
[]Morning's when I wake up with the [Fm#]sunlight in my eyes,
[]I turn and wonder why I'm still a[]live.[]
BRIDGE
So []every now and []then I steal a[]way,
[]To a place I []know not far a[]way.
CHORUS
You can []find me on a tropic island, []sailing on a crystal sea,
[]Blue sky above, as happy as I can []be.[]
[]In my own milk and honey pie land, []sleeping underneath a tree,
[]Dreaming of love, escaping reali[]ty.[][]
[]Waiting gets me crazy so I'm, []never there on time,
[]Half out of my mind, constant[]ly.[]
[]Hurry up and wait until it's []time to stand in line,
[]My glasses left behind and I can't []see.[]
BRIDGE
[]When these troubles []chase my smile a[]way,
[]I go to a []place that's miles a[]way.
CHORUS
You can []find me on a tropic island, []sailing on a crystal sea,
[]Blue sky above, as happy as I can []be.[]
[]In my own milk and honey pie land, []sleeping underneath a tree,
[]Dreaming of love, escaping reali[]ty.[][]
[]I've considered everybody []else before myself,
[]On the list I'm twelfth priori[]ty.[]
[]Given up most everything I []had in search of twelfth,
[]Lost my mental health and sani[]ty.[]
BRIDGE
[G]So if as I sat [F#]talking in this [B7]chair,
[G]You look into my [F#]eyes and I'm not [B7]there.
CHORUS
[E]You'll know I'm heading for a tropic island, [F#m]sailing on a crystal sea,
[B7]Blue sky above, as happy as I can [E]be.[E]
[E]In my own milk and honey pie land, [F#m]sleeping underneath a tree,
[B7]Dreaming of love, escaping reali[E]ty.
I'm [B7]dreaming of love, escaping reali[E]ty.
