G                  D             Em                D 
Sailing 'cross the seas pursuing sorry ships don't know they're sinking

Holding on until all hope is gone

Focusing my eyes on distant stars so far away they're blinking

On and off and on and off and on 
        G    D     Em   D        C  G6  Am   G-D- 
But the bird in my hand promises pa-a-radise

Venture forth from cave to conquer everything that's moving 
         C            G6          Am    G-D- 
Pleasure never really lasted very long 
G              D                  Em                       D

Though it's on and off and on and off and on

But the bird in my hand promises paradise 


Bridge: 
C              G 
All the actors in your play 
     Am                G 
Will do their part and go their way 
   D                G 
Or dance as long as you will pay 
    C                   D 
But she will never fly away

For me tonight there'll be no sleep until the dawn 
G              D          Em             D 
Neon sign from Paradise Hotel across the street 
            C              G6             Am  G-D- 
Is blinking on and off and on and off and on 
        G    D     Em      D         C   G   
And the bird in my hand is promising paradise
