[Em]
[E] Keep [G] believing you so long you turn to flash
[Bm] [E] [Bm] It's to see because nothing kills like this [C] metropolis
[G] Every day there's blind ambition
[Em] Darky [Bm] dark and stay
[C#m] You do [Bm] unto others as [Dm] they [Gm] do [C] unto you
[E] [G] Every day you fight [D] taxi cabs and [G] traffic, poor men and friends
[E] Lay awake [G] at night [Bm] wondering if you hit one [C] blurry cent
[G] Think it's time to make my [Em] exit
Kiss all [C#] this goodbye
[C#m] Yes, the next [Bm] box
[F] [C]
[A] [B] [D] Look [G] at me
I [Cm] am a refugee [G] from the island
[Em] I belong [Cm] on the shadiest [Em] palm of the mango's [A#m] rye
[D] I do what [Em] one's to me
It's like [C#] I'm a [D#] fire-gun [Em] Yes
I
[E]
[G] [E] guess it must be clear I do not belong [G] in this
I [D] [Em] am not [C] from here and [D] I do intend to [G] make my exit
Take me back to [Em] waterfalls in [C#] volcanic endings
[F#m] Where coca [Bm] nuts and dark inside [F] my [C] soul now
[G] [F#m] Endings
[G] Look at me [Cm] I am a refugee [G] from the island
[C] I [G] belong [Cm] on the shadiest palm [Em] of the mango's [G]
