When she was just a girl,
F# C#
She expected the world,
D#m Cb
But it flew away from her reach,

So she ran away in her sleep.

Dreamed of para-para-paradise,

Para-para-paradise,
F# C#
Every time she closed her eyes.

When she was just a girl,

But it flew away from her reach,

And bullets catch in her teeth.

Life goes on,
Cb
It gets so heavy,
F# C#
The wheel breaks the butterfly.
Cb F#
Every tear, a waterfall.
Cb F#
In the night, the stormy night,
C#
She closed her eyes.
Cb F#
In the night, the stormy night,
C#
Away she flied.

And dreamed of para-para-paradise,

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

Still lying underneath the stormy skies

She said oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
