Original recording is in F minor. C#m - 046600 Bm - 024400 Aadd9 - 002200 [Intro] C#m Bm Aadd9 (repeat x2) [Verse 1]
              C#m                Bm                    Aadd9
  The sky is grey, the sand is grey, and the ocean is grey.

                   C#m                         Bm              Aadd9
  I feel right at home in this stunning monochrome, alone in my way.

                   C#m                   Bm                    Aadd9
  I smoke and I drink and every time I blink I have a tiny dream.

                   C#m                  Bm                    Aadd9
  But as bad as I am I'm proud of the fact that I'm worse than I seem.
[Chorus]
C#m                               Aadd9
What kind of paradise am I looking for?

C#m                                        Aadd9
I've got everything I want and still I want more.

C#m                                           Aadd9
Maybe some tiny shiny thing will wash up on the shore.
[Verse 2]
                        C#m                 Bm               Aadd9
  You walk through my walls like a ghost on TV You penetrate me.

                        C#m                       Bm                 Aadd9
  And my little pink heart is on its little brown raft floating out to sea.

                   C#m                    Bm                   Aadd9
  And what can I say but I'm wired this way and you're wired to me

                  C#m             Bm               Aadd9
  And what can I do but wallow in you unintentionally?
[Chorus]
C#m                                  Aadd9
What kind of paradise am I looking for?

C#m                                        Aadd9
I've got everything I want and still I want more.

C#m                                           Aadd9
Maybe some tiny shiny key will wash up on the shore.
[Verse 3]
           C#m                    Bm                   Aadd9
  Regretfully, I guess I've got three simple things to say.

       C#m          Bm             Aadd9
  Why me? Why this now? Why this way?

                  C#m        Bm           Aadd9
  Overtone's ringing, undertow's pulling away.

                       C#m                    Bm                     Aadd9
  Under a sky that is grey, on sand that is grey, by an ocean that's grey.
[Chorus]
C#m                                 Aadd9
What kind of paradise am I looking for?

C#m                                         Aadd9
I've got everything I want and still I want more.

C#m                                           Aadd9
Maybe some tiny shiny key will wash up on the shore.
[Outro] C#m Bm Aadd9 (repeated)
