LIVIN' IN THE ISLANDS IS WHAT I WAS DREAMIN' OF
            D/C
BENEATH THE PALMTREES AND THE SHORES
            D/A                 D
TO SHARE MY LIFE WITH THE ONE I LOVE
--------------------------------------------------------
TAKIN' IT ALL SLOWLY DO MY LIVIN ISLAND STYLE
ONLY LOOKIN' FOR TODAY
CAUSE TOMORROW'S GONNA COME ANYWAY
--------------------------------------------------------
BRIDGE:
    G                              D
I'M STANDIN' ON MY FEET, I'VE BEEN TO LONG ON MY KNEES
    G                                 A                   D
THE BREEZE IS GETTING WARMER, AND THE TIME SEEMS STANDING STILL
--------------------------------------------------------
REFRAIN: 
                         G  A
IF YOU'RE RUNNING ALWAYS FASTER
                     D
YOU'LL NEVER SEE THE BEAUTY
                         G  A
IF YOU'RE RUNNING ALWAYS FASTER
                          D    D/C D/A  D
YOU'LL NEVER LEARN TO LET GO
--------------------------------------------------------
WORKIN' AS A MECHANIC IS WHAT I'VE ALWAYS DONE
24 HOURS DRUDGE IN A FACTORY - THERE'S MORE TO LIFE
LIVIN' IN OUR TRAILER, THIS ISLAND'S PARADISE
I THINK THERE CAN'T BE ANY BETTER - OH WHAT A LIFE
--------------------------------------------------------
BRIDGE:  
AND WHEN I'M GOING BACK TO THESE 45 DEGREES
SEE THE PEOPLE PLAYIN' CRAZY ON THE BEST WAY
TO WHAT GONE BEFORE
--------------------------------------------------------
REFRAIN:
IF YOU'RE RUNNING ALWAYS FASTER, YOU'LL NEVER SEE THE BEAUTY
IF YOU'RE RUNNING ALWAYS FASTER, YOU'LL NEVER LEARN TO LET GO
IF YOU'RE RUNNING ALWAYS FASTER, YOU'LL NEVER SEE THE BEAUTY
IF YOU'RE RUNNING ALWAYS FASTER, YOU'LL NEVER GROWIN' OLD
