C#
I'm dead, but I'm living
                          D#
I played a part I've been given
Fm
I'm still kicked out of heaven
         D#       C#
I'm into nothing new
Everyday is a battle
                       D#
I made a deal with the devil
Fm
And I'm deep into trouble
        D#
So tired

       C#
I was trying to find
a better way but every day's the same
     Fm
I'm trying to break the numbness
and it's driving me insane
C#
You could be my saviour,
you could be just what I need
   Fm
So I lay down and pray for something better

                      G#       C Fm
Go ahead and leave me paralyzed
        C#              G#       C Fm
There's nothing left to sacrifice
   C#                 G#     C Fm
In hell I'm shooting paradise
    C#             G#         C Fm
I'm ready so I'll close my eyes

Chorus:
C#              C#  Fm
This is my paradise
                C#  Fm
This is my paradise

It's gonna hurt but I'm ready
It's clear where I'm heading
Don't call paramedics
I'm into nothing new
I'll be gone in a minute
I'm not afraid to admit it
So wrong but I love it

So tired
I was trying to find
a better way but every day's the same
I'm trying to break the numbness
and it's driving me insane
You could be my saviour,
you could be just what I need
So I lay down and pray for something better

Go ahead and leave me paralyzed
There's nothing left to sacrifice
In hell I'm shooting paradise
I'm ready so I'll close my eyes

Chorus

C#
I made a deal with the devil
              D#
Everyday is a battle
Fm
Everyday is a battle
           D#   C#
This is my paradise
I made a deal with the devil
              D#
Everyday is a battle
Fm
Everyday is a battle
           D#   C#
This is my paradise
           D#   Fm
This is my paradise
           D#   C#
This is my paradise
           D#   Fm
This is my paradise
