lyrics

F Dm
If you asked me to paint the perfect day
A# C
it wouldn't take much just some simple things
F Dm
cause it doesn't take a lot to satisfy me
C A# F
just some sun, some friends, and some fine cuisine
F Dm C A# F
so if you are asking me, this is what i'd have to say

C A# (let ring)

F Dm A# F
i'd ask for one taco with rice and chicken please
F Dm A# F
cilantro, tomatoes, all three, and sour cream
F Dm A# F
just give me one taco with chips and queso
A# A#m
and a sunny day

with all of my friends, some love, and some hope
give me an inside joke that makes everyone roll
and a ruby red sunset set off in in the west
we can stare at
as we laugh the day away.
