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