INTRO
[E] [F#m] [B7] [E] [E]
[E]Every night I go to bed a[F#m]fraid I'm gonna die,
[B7]Prayin' to the sky that I'll sur[E]vive.[E]
[E]Morning's when I wake up with the Fm#sunlight in my eyes,
[B7]I turn and wonder why I'm still a[E]live.[E]
#
BRIDGE
So [G]every now and [F#]then I steal a[B7]way,
[G]To  a place I [F#]know not far a[B7]way.
#
CHORUS
You can [E]find me on 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.[E][E]
#
[E]Waiting gets me crazy so I'm, [F#m]never there on time, 
[B7]Half out of my mind, constant[E]ly.[E]
[E]Hurry up and wait until it's [F#m]time to stand in line,
[B7]My glasses left behind and I can't [E]see.[E]
#
BRIDGE
[G]When these troubles [F#]chase my smile a[B7]way,
[G]I go to a [F#]place that's miles a[B7]way.
#
CHORUS
You can [E]find me on 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.[E][E]
#
[E]I've considered everybody [F#m]else before myself,
[B7]On the list I'm twelfth priori[E]ty.[E]
[E]Given up most everything I [F#]had in search of twelfth,
[B7]Lost my mental health and sani[E]ty.[E]
#
BRIDGE
GSo if as I sat F#talking in this B7chair,
GYou look into my F#eyes and I'm not B7there.
CHORUS
EYou'll know I'm heading for a tropic island, F#msailing on a crystal sea,
B7Blue sky above, as happy as I can Ebe.E  
EIn my own milk and honey pie land, F#msleeping underneath a tree, 
B7Dreaming of love, escaping realiEty. 
I'm B7dreaming of love, escaping realiEty.
