{Intro}
Em G D A

{First 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
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh

{Verse 2}

Bm         D
When she was just a girl
D       A
She expected the world
    G        D
But it flew away from her reach
    Bm          A
And the 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'd fly.

{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
        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.

{Bridge}
Em  G D A
La la la La
Em G D A
La la la
G             D   A
So lying underneath those stormy skies.
     G      D
She said oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
A     G  D      A
I know the sun must set to rise..

{Chorus}

Em     G
This could be para- para- paradise
D      A
Para- para- paradise
       Em     G
This could be para- para- paradise
D       A
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh.

Em     G
This could be para- para- paradise
D      A
Para- para- paradise
       Em     G
This could be para- para- paradise
D       A
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh.
       Em     G
This could be para- para- paradise
D      A
Para- para- paradise
       Em     G
This could be para- para- paradise
D       A
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh.

Em    D     A
Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo
Em    D     A
Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo
