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