Intro: Gm A# F C - x4

  Dm                 A#
When she was just a girl,
  F               C
She expected the world,
        Dm                 A#
But it flew away from her reach,
        F                C
So she ran away in her sleep.

Chorus:
                    Gm       A#
     And dreamed of para-para-paradise,
      F        C
     Para-para-paradise,
     Gm       A#
     Para-para-paradise,
     F                C
     Every time she closed her eyes.

Dm A# F C

   Dm              A#
   Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo,
   F               C
   Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo.

 A#                  F
When she was just a girl,
                  C
She expected the world,
         A#                Dm
But it flew away from her reach,
                              C
And the bullets catch in her teeth.

    Gm               A#
   Life goes on, it gets so heavy,
         F               C
   The wheel breaks the butterfly.
   A#             F
   Every tear, a waterfall.

           A#                F
   In the night, the stormy night,
                    C      C
   She’ll close her eyes.
           A#                F
   In the night, the stormy night,
                C     C
   Away she’d fly.

Chorus:
                    Gm       A#
     And dreams  of para-para-paradise,
      F       C
     Para-para-paradise,
     Gm       A#
     Para-para-paradise,
     F           C
     Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh.
                    Gm       A#
     She’d dream of para-para-paradise,
      F       C
     Para-para-paradise,
     Gm       A#
     Para-para-paradise,
     F           C
     Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh.

   Gm
   La-la,
                C
   La-la-la-la-la-la,
            Dm
   La-la-la-la-la,
             F  C
   La-la-la-la-la.

           A#         F                   C
   And so lying underneath those stormy skies.
               A#           F
   She’d say, “oh, oh oh oh oh
               C               C
   I know the sun must set to rise”

Chorus:
                   Gm       A#
     This could be para-para-paradise,
      F       C
     Para-para-paradise,
                   Gm       A#
     This could be para-para-paradise,
     F           C
     Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh.

                   Gm       A#
     This could be para-para-paradise,
      F       C
     Para-para-paradise,
                   Gm       A#
     This could be para-para-paradise,
     F           C
     Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh.

     This could be para-para-paradise,
     F           C
     Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh.



   A#               C
   Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo,
                    Dm
   Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo,

   Gm
   Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo,
   A#
   Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo…
