[Intro]
Em   G     D   A/C#
Em   G     D   A
Em   G     D   A/C#
 
Em                   G
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
D                    A
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
 
 
[Verse 1]
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
And dreamed of para-para-paradise
D       A
Para-para-paradise
Em      G
Para-para-paradise
D          A
Every time she closed her eyes
 
 
[Post-chorus]
Bm7   G     D   A
 
Bm7                  G
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
D                    A
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
 
 
[Verse 2]
G                   D/F#
When she was just a girl
D/F#             A/E
She expected the world
       G                  D/B
But it flew away from her reach
        Bm                   A
and the bullets catch in her teeth
 
Em7           G
Life goes on, it gets so heavy
    D            A
The wheel breaks the butterfly
G          D
Every tear a waterfall
 
 
[Pre-chorus 1]
       G                 D                     A
In the night, the stormy night she'd close her eyes
        G                D                A
In the night, the stormy night away she'd fly
 
 
[Chorus]
             Em      G
And dream of para-para-paradise
D       A/C#
Para-para-paradise
Em      G
Para-para-paradise
D        A
Oh oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh-oh
 
               Em      G
She'd dream of para-para-paradise
D       A/C#
Para-para-paradise
Em      G
Para-para-paradise
D        A
Oh oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh-oh
 
 
[Bridge]
Em7     A
Bm      D   A
Em7     A
Bm      D   A
 
Em7             A
La la la la la, la la la la la
Bm              D     A
La la la la la, la la la
 
 
[Pre-chorus 2]
    G         D                  A
So lying underneath those stormy skies
           G            D              A
She said, "Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, I know the sun must set to rise"
 
 
[Chorus]
              Em      G
This could be para-para-paradise
D       A/C#
Para-para-paradise
              Em      G
This could be para-para-paradise
D        A
Oh oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh-oh
 
              Em      G
This could be para-para-paradise
D       A/C#
Para-para-paradise
              Em      G
This could be para-para-paradise
D        A
Oh oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh-oh
 
 
[Instrumental Break]
Em   G     D   A/C#
Em   G     D   A
 
 
[Chorus]
              Em      G
This could be para-para-paradise
              D       A/C#
This could be para-para-paradise
              Em      G
This could be para-para-paradise
D        A
Oh oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh-oh
