Verse 1  
    
    Tacet                   G    
I thought some time in the sun    
                        C    
Would help me get over you    
                          D    
But I could tell from day one    
                          G     D7  
This is a place meant for two    

Verse 2  

  Tacet                G     
Now here I sit on the beach   
                           C  
Watching the tide ebb and flow  
                         D    
I booked my room for a week  
                      G    
But now I'm ready to go    
    
                      C    
I'm in a tropical depression     
                          G    
I've got the blue water blues    
                               C    
Can't shake this loving you obsession    
                              D    
Can't stand this sand in my shoes 
    
                       C    
This forgetting you vacation    
                      G    
Is just a fool's holiday    
                     C    
If I can't get over you    
                    D    
This tropical depression's gonna    
          G    
Blow me away

                    G   
This should be paradise   
                   C  
Heaven down by the sea  
                        D    
Without you here by my side  
                      G    
It feels like hell to me    
    
                      C    
I'm in a tropical depression     
                          G

This forgetting you vacation    
                      G
