Slummin In Paradise

(intro) D

(verse 1)
      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)

(bridge)
    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)

(outro 2x) D Bm A G
