If I Could Just Get It On Paper

by Jimmy Buffett

F Bb F

If I could just get it on paper

Bb F

The things that have happened tonight

Bb F

But that seems to me to be the big key

G C

I'm havin' too good a time to ever turn Out the lights.

F Bb F

Go to bed wake up eith a clear head

F Bb F

Recalling what made it a ball

Bb F

If I could just get it on paper

C F

I might make some sense of it all

F Bb F

If I could tell half of the stories

Bb F

The funny way most things begin

Bb F

Figure ways to disguse all the half truths and lies

G C

Find the heart of my song with the point of a pen

F Bb F

Simple words can become clever phrases

F Bb F

And chapters could turn into books

Bb F

Yes if I could just get it on paper

C F

But it's harder than it ever looks.

INSTRUMENTAL

F Bb F

All alone in the edge of the water

Bb F

Hidin' out by the Sea of Cortez

Bb F

With my sketch pads and Flairs, tapes and battery spares

G C

It's just no comprehendo to what everyone says

F Bb F

Time alone seemed to work well for Faulkner

F Bb F

Time away seems to work for the kid

Bb F

Life and ink they run out at the same time

C F

Or so said my old friend the squid

Bb F

Yes if I could just get it on paper tonight

C F

I could tell you what I think I did.
