[Verse 1]
  G                   Am              D
I come from where the rivers meet the sea

       G                  Am               D
That's part of why I'm so wild and fancy free

                 Am         G/B C
I was early into crazy ways

                   C            G/B D
My folks said it's just a phase

                     G           C   G   C
They were hoping for better days
[Verse 2]
    G             Am             D
Now in my line of work I seem to see a lot more than most

G                    Am                        D
  Write 'em down and pass 'em around, it's the gospel from the coast

                Am          G/B C
Reflections not just replays

                 C            G/B D
Taking time to escape the maze

            G           C    D C  G
Lookin' for better days
[Verse 3]
G                     Am                    D
 I spent a year of my life one night on the beaches in ole Beirut

G                        Am                    D
  Seems that all they're aimin' for there is to hang around and shoot

             Am        G/B C
Each others' lives away

                  C          G/B D
Bloody winds on a distant bay

                    G
They're lookin' for better days
[Bridge]
F               C     F               C
 Lookin' to the left,  lookin' to the right

F               Am                 C
 Looking to the stars to shed some light

F             C       F             C
 Hoping for a breath,  hoping for a break

F               Am               C      D
 Hoping for the give without the take
[Verse 4]
G                      Am                 D
 The dreamers line the state road just to watch the runway show

G                       Am                        D
  Slouched behind their steering wheels they just watch the big jets go

                      Am          G/B C
Streakin' through the morning haze

                 C           G/B D
Focal point of a distant gaze

            G           C   G   C
Lookin' for better days
[Instrumental] | F C | F C | | F Am | C | | F C | F C | | F Am | C | D | [Verse 5]
G                   Am                   D
  Pale invaders and tanned crusaders are worshipping the sun

G                  Am                      D
  On the corner of walk and don't walk somewhere on U.S. 1
[Chorus]
                   Am       G/B C
I'm back to livin' Floridays

                     C          G/B D
Blue skies and ultra violet rays

            G
Lookin' for better days

                    Am       G/B C
I'm back to live in Floridays

                     C          G/B D
Blue skies and ultra violet rays

            G           C              G         C
Lookin' for better days,   lookin' for better days

            G           C              G      C
Lookin' for better days,   lookin' for Floridays
