If paradise is [Em/B]half as nice as [C7/Bb]heaven that you [F/A]take me to,
Who needs para – dise? I’d rather have you!

[Verse 1]
They say para – dise …is up in the stars,
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
But I needn’t sigh, because it’s so far,
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
‘Cause I know it’s worth …a heaven on earth,
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

For me, where you are-----------!

| /__/ / /__/ / |

[Verse 2]
A look from your eyes, a touch of your hand,
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
And I seem to fly …to some other land,
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
When you are a – round,
^ ^ ^
My heart always pounds just like a brass band!
^ ^ ^
Oh, oh-oh, oh -oh -oh, …oh -oh!

If paradise is [Em/B]half as nice as [C7/Bb]heaven that you [F/A]take me to,
Who needs para – dise? I’d rather have you,
Oh, yes, I’d rather have you––!

[Verse 3]
La – la, la, la! La – la, la, la! La – la, la, la!
La – la, la! La – la, la, la, la!

La - la, la, la, la------------! | /__/ / / / |

If paradise is [Em/B]half as nice as [C7/Bb]heaven that you [F/A]take me to,
Who needs paradise? I’d rather have you,
Oh, yes, I’d rath – er have you–-!

[Verse 4]
La – la, la, la! La – la, la, la! La – la, la, la!
La – la, la! La – la, la, la, la!

La, la, la, la, la-----------!

[Verse 5]
They say para – dise …is up in the stars,
(If paradise …is half as nice…)

But I needn’t sigh, because it’s so far,

For me, where you are-----------!

(Who needs para--------dise?)

...Just like a brass band----------!
