[Ab]
They'd be paradise, but a fucking lie
With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a slinging hot spa
Don't it all seem to go
[Db] But you don't know what you got till [Fm] it's gone
They'd be paradise, [Eb] but a fucking [Ab] lie
She took all the trees and put them [Db] in a tree [Ab] museum
[Db] And charged the people [Bb] a dollar [Ab] and a half to see them
No, no, no, don't it all seem to go
[Db] That you don't know what you got [Ab] till it's [Db] gone
They'd be paradise, [Eb] but a [Ab] fucking lie
[Bbm] Hey, farm up, put away your [Ab] DDT
I don't care [Bbm] about spots on my apples
Leave me the birds [Ab] and the bees, please
Don't it all seem to go
[Db] That you don't know what you got [Ab] till it's [Db] gone
They'd be [Eb] paradise, but a [Ab] fucking lie
And now they'd be paradise, [Eb] but a [Ab] fucking lie
Listen,
[Bbm]
[Ab]
[Fm] [Ab]
[Db]
[Ab] late last [Db] night, I heard the [Ab] screen door swipe
[Db] And a big yellow [Ab] taxi took my girl away
Now, don't it all seem to [Db] go
That you don't know what you got till [Ab] it's gone
[Db] They'd be [Ab] paradise, but a fucking lie
Now, now, don't it all seem to go
That [Db] you don't know what you got till [Ab] it's gone
[Db] They'd be [Ab] paradise, but a fucking lie
Why not leave?
They'd be paradise, but a fucking lie
Hey, hey, hey, [Db] they'd be paradise, [Ab] but a fucking lie
[Db] I don't [Ab] wanna give it, why you wanna give it
Why you wanna give it all away
Hey, hey, [Db] hey, now you wanna give it
I sure wanna give it, [Ab] just to give it all away Now, now
I don't wanna give it, why you wanna give it
Why you wanna give it all away
Just give it all, give it all away
[Eb] Why [Ebm] [Ab] you wanna,
[Gb] [Fm] why you [Ab] wanna
Just give it all away
[Bbm] [Ab] Hey, [Gb] [Db] they'd be paradise, but a [Ab] fucking lie
[Gb] [Bbm] [Ab]
[Bbm] [Ab]
[Bbm] [Ab]
