Weekend In Paradise

[Intro]
| B/F# | D#m11/G# | F#6 | D#m11/G# |
| B/F# | D#m11/G# | F#6 |

[Chorus]
D#m11/G#    B/F#
        The wheels have fallen off
   D#m11/G#
It also signs of endin'
       F#6                         D#m11/G#
You've had enough for hours but ya carried on pretendin'
   B/F#
Ya shoes have lost their shine
    D#m11/G#
The convo's lost it's pace
   F#6                          D#m11/G#
So now you're in a taxi feelin' feelings of disgrace
       B/F#                         D#m11/G#
You've never got no money 'cause of all     the times ya
lend
         F#6
Was it a pointless three day bender
     B/F#                    F#6
Or a weekend in Paradise, my friend?

[Verse 1]
           F#6
The spring is in his step on Friday afternoon
              D#m11/G#
There's a feelin'     sweepin' through the air
             B/F#
All the lads are on the blower,
they'll be finishin' soon
            D#m11/G#
In your mind        you're already prepared
           F#6
I'll phone me man for sugar then I'll phone our kid
                D#m11/G#
'Cause he'll cover      it til I get paid
                B/F#
Then you're out with all the firm an' you're off ya lid
        D#m11/G#
Only confident, never afraid
          F#6
The night draws to a close and now there's nowhere to go
        D#m11/G#
Ya turn an'     look at one of ya mates
          B/F#
There's a lad he know from work and he lives alone
             D#m11/G#
So it's more sugar an' a couple o' crates

[Pre-Chorus]
D#m                           C#
   Well is it one of the times  when it's all
          Badd9                        C#
worthwhile     and you've had a scream?
D#m                           Badd9
   Or is it burnin' your bridges at both ends
F#                            C#
Same old scene since you were seventeen?
C#sus4
C#           B/F#
  Aw now the wheels have fallen off

[Chorus]
   D#m11/G#
It also signs of endin'
       F#6                         D#m11/G#
You've had enough for hours but ya carried on pretendin'
   B/F#
Ya shoes have lost their shine
    D#m11/G#
The convo's lost it's pace
   F#6                          D#m11/G#
So now you're in a taxi feelin' feelings of disgrace
       B/F#                         D#m11/G#
You've never got no money 'cause of all     the times ya
lend
         F#6
Was it a pointless three day bender
     B/F#                    F#6
Or a weekend in Paradise, my friend?

[Verse 2]
F#6
   Some can handle it no more
D#m11/G#
        Some'll do it forever
              B/F#
Spend ya weeks    walkin' round with ya head to the floor
       D#m11/G#
No time        for the news or the weather
F#6
Ya first pint on a Friday,
D#m11/G#
ya      last gin on a Sunday mornin'
      B/F#
It all    creeps up on ya in between
      D#m11/G#                     F#6
No reasons    why, no early warnin'

[Pre-Chorus]
                              D#m11/G#
Well if it's one of the times when    it's all worthwhile
and you've had a scream,
B/F#
    that's alright
                           D#m11/G#
Or is it burnin' your bridges at both ends
                              D#m
Same old scene since you were seventeen?

[Chorus]
C#           B/F#
  Aw now the wheels have fallen off
   D#m11/G#
It also signs of endin'
       F#6                         D#m11/G#
You've had enough for hours but ya carried on pretendin'
   B/F#
Ya shoes have lost their shine
    D#m11/G#
The convo's lost it's pace
   F#6                          D#m11/G#
So now you're in a taxi feelin' feelings of disgrace
       B/F#                         D#m11/G#
You've never got no money 'cause of all     the times ya
lend
         F#6
Was it a pointless three day bender
     D#m11/G#                F#6
Or a weekend in Paradise, my friend?
