[Intro]
D

[Verse 1]
D
I’ve been feeling like
a piece of rice paper
           G
Think I’ll move to an
island and turn into
vapor
      D
Get a scooter and a
house on a hill
A
Fish all day just to
fill up the grill
         D
Spend my mornings making
chocolate milk and Eggos
   G
My days at the beach, my
nights stepping on Legos
      D
Gonna wave to the world
screaming, "Hasta luego"
     A
Everybody back home will
say where the hell did
he go


[Chorus]
      D
Gonna hop in a
boat and
throw the paddle
 away
G
Offer my heart up
 to the
break and the sway
D
Wake up every day
in the sun
A
Kick off my
flip-flops
and go for a run
      D
Gonna hop on my
scooter
and go down to the
 store
     G
When people say
 are you
him I’ll say not
anymore
         D
With the wind in
 my hair
          A
I’m gonna scooter
 my
       D
blues away

[Verse 2]
D
I hear those
islands
calling my name
          G
Since the first
time I
saw em’ Lord I
ain’t
 been the same
D
Maybe I’ll end
 up in
 Chalong
   A
Or over in Kata
Not or
 up in Karon
D
Buy me a bar in
Nakhon
Is Thammarat
G
Learn how to
kickboxing
so I don’t get
fat
D
Suck on some
coconuts and
 play me some
checkers
A
Lay on the
beach
‘til all
my freckles
connected


[Chorus]
      D
Gonna hop in a
boat and
throw the paddle
away
G
Offer my heart up
to the
 break and the sway
D
Wake up every day in
the sun
A
Kick off my flip-flops
and go for a run
      D
Gonna hop on my scooter
and go down to the store
     G
When people say are you
him I’ll say not anymore
         D
With the wind in my hair
          A
I’m gonna scooter my
       D
blues away
