        Gmaj7                Bm
I wanna go somewhere we can keep it
                A
on the left side
                                   Gmaj7
And get our heads right over some Mai Tai's
              Bm                 A
Watching the high tide, sitting fireside 
under the moon

Honey, I ain’t the jealous type
I just sit back and smile and let
the sun smooch on you
The weatherman tells us no worries on the tele
And there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do to be

Chorus:
      Bm        A
In a low key, locals only
        Gmaj7
Little bamboo, run-down rum shack
                   Bm                A
(It’s) you and me baby, nobody can phone me
            Gmaj7
Yeah, we’re way off the grid, no,
we don’t need a map
          Bm                       A
‘Cause I know this island like I know your curves
       Gmaj7
I done found myself at the edge of the earth
                                        A
Where nobody knows me, and we’re never lonely
      Gmaj7 Bm A
Locals only
      Gmaj7 Bm A
Locals only

I wanna pick up a couple cups of
coffee on the west side
Bring it back to your bedside
Plant a forehead kiss above your left eye
Waiting on a red sky fire through the dunes
No, you ain’t seen a rise till you seen
it on an island
And ain’t felt freedom till you’ve taken a dive in
—The crystal blue and that sea foam green
Under a sherbet canopy, you’ll find me

Chorus

Locals only

                 Gmaj7                   A
I could use some catch-up time with my creator
        Gmaj7                             A
Yeah, I got my bags packed, I’ll see you later
I’ll be

Chorus

Locals only

Yeah I wanna go somewhere we can keep
it on the left side
And get our heads right over some Mai Tai's
Watching the high tide, sitting
fireside under the moon
Locals only
Locals only
