You go through the day feeling hungry and weak
       C                    Em9/D

BRIDGE[ACOUSTIC PICKED]
C
 In Waikiki they got so much free time
Em9/D
 And when thеy're bored they just open their minds
G6/B
 They fill the space with their own creations
Cmaj7
 I wanna have those realizations
C
 So come with me, we'll ride the zip-line
Em9/D
 Put on our fins and have a good time
G6/B
 It's not too chill, it's not too blazing
C
 It's even nice when it's precipitating
