Elvis Costello - Living In Paradise (1978) [+Lyrics] chords
Start Jamming...
[D] I don't like those other guys looking at your curves.
I don't like you walking around with physical jerks.
[Bm]
Everything they say and do is getting on my nerves.
Sooner we'll be lucky to be picking up the perks.
[F#] Cause when they pull the shutters [Bm] down and throw up in the dark,
They'll find that all the dogs [G] outside bite much worse [A] than before.
[D] Here we are living in paradise,
[Em] You're the [Bm] luxury of [F#m] the thrill of fear,
[Bm] But it won't last long, you [F#m] better have your fun.
[E] Boris, you move so long,
[D] You're already [E] looking for another [Bm] fool [G] like me.
[D] You better fell on cause you are a pretty villain,
[Bm]
[D] And I think that I should tell them that you'd make a pretty killin'.
Cause meanwhile up in heaven they are waiting at the gates,
Saying we always knew you'd make it, didn't think you'd come this late.
[Bm]
[D] [F#m] Now it's much too dangerous [A#] to stop what [Bm] you've begun,
When everyone in [D] paradise has a rose up their head.
You've got to live in [Bm] paradise,
[Em] You're the luxury [Bm] of [F#m] the thrill of fear,
[Bm] But it won't last long, [F#m] you better have your fun.
[E] Boris, you move so long,
[D] You're already [E] looking for [Bm] another [B] fool [G] like me.
[D] Later in the evening when arrangements are made,
At the keyhole outside your bedroom door,
Cause I'm the first to know whenever the plans are laid,
But never go further than far to fly.
[F#] You think that I don't know [Bm] the part that you're touching,
I'll be at the video, [G] I will be [D] watching.
We are living in paradise,
We are living in paradise,
We are living in paradise,
We are living in [Bm] paradise,
[Em] You're the luxury of [F#m] the thrill of fear,
But [Bm] it won't last [F#m] long, you better have your fun.
Boris, [E] you move so long,
You're [D] already [A] looking for [Bm] another fool like me.
[Bm] And [D] you're [E] already [A] looking for [Bm] another fool [G] like me.
[D] And you're [F#] already looking for [Bm] another fool like me.
[D] And you're already [A] looking for [Bm] another fool like me.
[D] [F#]
