Gm A# F C (x4)
[Verse]
Dm A#
When she was just a girl,
F C
She expected the world,
Dm A#
But it flew away from her reach,
F C
So she ran away in her sleep.
[Chorus]
Gm A#
Dreamed of para-para-paradise,
F C
Para-para-paradise,
Gm A#
Para-para-paradise,
F C
Every time she closed her eyes.
Gm A# F C (x2)
[Verse]
A# F(/A)
When she was just a girl,
F(/A) C
She expected the world,
A# Dm
But it flew away from her reach,
Dm C
And bullets catch in her teeth.
Gm
Life goes on,
A#
It gets so heavy,
F C
The wheel breaks the butterfly.
A# F
Every tear, a waterfall.
A# F
In the night, the stormy night,
C
She closed her eyes.
A# F
In the night, the stormy night,
C
Away she flied.
[Chorus]
Gm A#
And dreamed of para-para-paradise,
F C
Para-para-paradise,
Gm A#
Para-para-paradise,
F C
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh. (x2)
Gm C Dm F (x4)
A# F C
Still lying underneath the stormy skies
A# F
She said oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
C
I know the sun's set to rise.
Gm A#
And dreamed of para-para-paradise,
F C
Para-para-paradise,
Gm A#
Para-para-paradise,
F C
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh. (x2)
Gm A# F C (lots of times)
A# F(/A) Am Dm G A#
