verse (G#minv-F#)
i just need a thank you
to get me through the day
i just need a thank you
no money anyway
pre-chorus (E-F#, G#minv-F#)
but if you're wondering why
i've got no time of my own
they took it all away
the government, they'll pay, oh
but won't you take a seat?
make eye contact with me
chorus (B, B7, G#m, C#m-F#)
as we sail to my island
as we sail across my sea
i'm searching for me
i've still got me, myself, and i on my side
where the grass is greener than most
even for a ghost
much greener than my wallet for sure
that's all i know
but i don't want to say
i should live any other way
verse
i just need a thank you
before you go along your way
please give me a thank you
do you recognize my face?
chorus
don’t you look down at my shoes
i'll look at yours too
do you like my face tattoo?
i got it for you
i call it a smile
every once in a while
it's a helluva sell
for my island hell
(C#m, F#, B)
