F#m D
When she was just a girl,
A E
She expected the world,
F#m D
But it flew away from her reach,
A E
So she ran away in her sleep.
[Chorus]

Dreamed of para-para-paradise,
A E
Para-para-paradise,

Para-para-paradise,

Every time she closed her eyes.

When she was just a girl,

She expected the world,

But it flew away from her reach,
F#m E
And bullets catch in her teeth.
Bm
Life goes on,
D
It gets so heavy,
A E
The wheel breaks the butterfly.
D A
Every tear, a waterfall.
D A
In the night, the stormy night,
E
She closed her eyes.
D A
In the night, the stormy night,
E
Away she flied.
[Chorus]

And dreamed of para-para-paradise,

Para-para-paradise,
Bm D
Para-para-paradise,
A E
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh. (x2)
Bm E F#m A (x4)
D A E
Still lying underneath the stormy skies
D A
She said oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
E
I know the sun's set to rise.
Bm D
And dreamed of para-para-paradise,
A E
Para-para-paradise,

Para-para-paradise,

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