Em C
When she was just a girl,
G D
She expected the world,
Em C
But it flew away from her reach,
G D
So she ran away in her sleep.
[Chorus]
Am C
Dreamed of para-para-paradise,
G D
Para-para-paradise,
Am C
Para-para-paradise,
G D
Every time she closed her eyes.

When she was just a girl,

She expected the world,

But it flew away from her reach,
Em D
And bullets catch in her teeth.

Life goes on,
C
It gets so heavy,
G D
The wheel breaks the butterfly.
C G
Every tear, a waterfall.
C G
In the night, the stormy night,
D
She closed her eyes.
C G
In the night, the stormy night,
D
Away she flied.
[Chorus]
Am C
And dreamed of para-para-paradise,
G D
Para-para-paradise,
Am C
Para-para-paradise,
G D
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh. (x2)
Am D Em G (x4)
C G D
Still lying underneath the stormy skies
C G
She said oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
D
I know the sun's set to rise.
Am C
And dreamed of para-para-paradise,

Para-para-paradise,

Para-para-paradise,

Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh. (x2)
