Paradise Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Dsus4][G]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Where the
river runs to [G]black
I take the schoolbooks from your [Am]pack
Plastics, wire and your [F]kiss
The breath of eternity [Am]on your lips
In the crowded market[G]place

[Verse 2]
I drift from face to [Am]face
I hold my breath [F]and close my eyes
I hold my breath [Am]and close my eyes
And I wait for paradis[G]e
And I wait for paradis[Am]e
[F][Dm]

[Verse 3]
[Am]
The Virginia hills have gone to [G]brown
Another day another sun going [Am]down
I visit you in another [F]dream
I visit you in another [Am]dream
I reach and feel your [G]hair

[Verse 4]
Your smell lingers in [Am]the air
I brush your cheek with my finger[F]tips
I taste the void [Am]upon your lips
And I wait for [G]paradise
And I wait for [Am]paradise

[Interlude 1]
[Am][F][Am][G][Am]

[Verse 5]
I search for [Am]you o[G]n the other side
Where the river runs clean [Am]and wide
Up to my heart the waters [F]rise
Up to my heart the waters [Am]rise

[Verse 6]
[Am]I sink 'neath the water cool and [G]clear
Drifting down, [Am]I disappear
I see you on the other [F]side
I search for the peace in your [Am]eyes
But they're as empty
as para[G]dise
They're as empty as paradise
[Am][F]

[Interlude 2]
[Am][G]
[Am]

[Verse 7]
I break above the [G]waves
I feel the sun upon my [Am]face

[Outro 1]
[Am][F][Am][G]
[Am][F][Am]
[G][Am][A][Am][F]
[F]
