Capo 1
[Verse]
G C
I close my eyes and dream about a sunny holiday
G C
I wish that I was beachin' down on Saint Tropez
G C
Or sitting in the lobby at the fabulous Pierre
G C
With diamonds on my fingers and not a single care
G C
Instead I'm on the Avenue where nobody goes
G C
With fields of green that wilted like a last summer rose
G C
Some people call it paradise, but I call it pain
G C
Baby take me anywhere but not here again
[Chorus]
G C G
Why am I sitting in the middle of nowhere
C G
Standing here with nothing to do
C G
Wondering if I really love you, oh oh
C
I guess that I do
G C G
Why am I sitting in the middle of nowhere
C G
Standing here with nothing to do
C G
Wondering if I really love you, oh oh
C
I guess that I do
G C
[Verse]
G C
You promised me a motorcade and endless perfume
G C
A palace in Geneva with a perfect view
G C
And dreams painted yellow like the color of gold
G C
And dine with kings and queens 'till the food gets cold
G C
Instead I'm on the edge of all I thought I would be
G C
This dream is now a comedy I don't wanna see
G C
Some people call it laughter but I call it pain
G C
Baby take me anywhere but not here again
[Chorus]
G C G
Why am I sitting in the middle of nowhere
C G
Standing here with nothing to do
C G
Wondering if I really love you, oh oh

I guess that I do
G C G
Why am I sitting in the middle of nowhere
C G
Standing here with nothing to do
C G
Wondering if I really love you, oh oh
C G C
I guess that I do, I do
[Bridge]
G C G
I know we have a chemistry
C G
This combination's heavenly
C
But don't forget you promised me
G C
Everything, everything

I know we have a chemistry

This combination's heavenly
