[Verse 1]

C*
 Gonna put the the world away for a minute
F
 Pretend I don't live in it
C               G              C
 Sunshine gonna wash my blues away
C*
 Had sweet love but I lost it
F
 She got too close so I fought her
         Am          G               F         G      C
 Now I'm lost in the world trying to find me a better way


[Chorus]

              C*
 Wishing I was knee deep in the water somewhere
         F
 Got the blue sky breeze and it don't seem fair
      C                         G                   C      [*]
 Only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair
C*
 Sunrise there's a fire in the sky
       F
 Never been so happy, never felt so high
       Am                 G           F           G   C
 And I think I might have found me my own kind of paradise

Riff [1st half]


[Verse 2]

C*
 Wrote a note said be back in a minute
F
 Bought a boat and I sailed off in it                  C
 C                           G          C   --->    e|-------------------------------|

 The ocean is my only medication                    E|-------------------------------|
 Am            G            F          G   C
 Wishing my condition ain't ever gonna go away


[Chorus]

               C*
 Cause now I'm knee deep in the water somewhere
         F
 Got the blue sky breeze blowing wind through my hair
      C                         G                   C      [*]
 Only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair
C*
 Sunrise there's a fire in the sky

 Never been so happy, never felt so high
       Am                 G           F           G   C
 And I think I might have found me my own kind of paradise


[Verse 3]

      Am                      C
 This champagne shore washing over me
        G                               C         C7
 It's a sweet, sweet life living by the salty sea
 F                       C
 One day you could be as lost as me
               D7
 Change your geography
       G
 Maybe you might be


[Chorus]

 C*
 Knee deep in the water somewhere
         (F)
 Got the blue sky breeze blowing wind through my hair              C

[Outro]

 C                            G 
 Come on in the water's nice, find yourself a little slice
C           G                 Am          G        F
 Grab a backpack of lies, you never know until you try
          D7                 G                   C*
 When you lose yourself, you find the key to paradise

~ADDITIONAL LEAD RIFF~
This is the lead guitar lick that is played occasionally throughout the song 
(marked by [*]). It just consists of keeping the forefinger on the 11th fret of 
the B and high E string while pulling off with either the middle or ring finger 
and the pinky. Since it requires 2 guitars, I did not include it in my main work 
(although the ending little lick in the Intro Riff is also a second guitar, but I 
decided to put that in as it's manageable to play with everything else), but if 
anyone is interested, here's the tabs! :)
