(Verse 1)
They cut (G)all the shifts right before the (C)summer
(G)Then the bastards forced me on to (D)swing
Ifm parking (G) some white sedan
While the (C)owner tries his hand rolling (G)dice
Itfs (G)just another (D)day in Paradise (G)
(Verse 2)
I donft (G)pull fem fround as quickly as I (C)used to
This (G)chasing flashy cars is a young manfs (D) game
If I donft (G) keep up the pace
Somebodyfs (C)son will take my place in the picture (G)frame
And (G)Paradise will (D)go on just the same (G)
(Chorus)
So itfs just (G) another day in Para-(C)dise
(G) Another raindrop in the (D)sea
Count the (G)hours to quitting time
Trying to (C)cross the silver line and always (Am)leans
(D)Just beyond the shadows of my (C) dreams / (G) /

(Verse 3)
(C) I cared for (G)my old man right until the (C)bell rang
(G) He never really cared for (D)me
He left us (G)for another life
And when he (C)called he always made it sound so (G)nice
(G)Sounded like it (D)might be Para-(G)dise
(Verse 4)
Ifve done the (G)things that drove a man into the (C)bottle
I lost the (G)angel on my shoulder at twelve years (D)old
I ainft no (G)choir boy
But when the (G)sun comes up to-(C)morrow
Ifll be (C)singing a tale well (G)told
Since the (D)dawn of silver and (G)gold
(Chorus)
Itfs just an-(G)-other day in Para-(C)dise
(G) Another raindrop in the (D)sea
Count the (G)hours to quitting time
Trying to (C)cross the silver (Am)line
That always (Am)leans (D)just beyond my dreams
Itfs (D)just an-(G)-other day in Para-(C)dise
Another (G)diehard on the (D)team
Count the (G)hours till quitting time
Trying to (C)cross the silver line
Oh how it (Am)gleams
It always (D)leans (C)just beyond the shadows of my (G) dreams
