Europe – Prisoners In Paradise (Guitar)

C                    F
Julie's got the word today

    C                 Am        G
She lost her job just one last pay

C                F         C Am
Life don't come easy anymore

G         C           F
Still strugglin'on by herself

      C
Got a picture of Jimmy

      Am        G
There on the shelf

C
And she looks at him and says

F                 C C G/B
Why did we let it go

Am                    Em
I know that sometimes, baby

            F               C  C G/B
We didn't see things eye-to-eye

Am                 Em
I got just one question

       F                   G
Did we have to say goodbye?

          C            F
Just like prisoners in paradise

      C                 F
Still far from heaven's door

C         G/B           Am
We had it all but still we

  G   F Dm
Wanted more

G     F              G
Now I realize that I can't turn back

    Am       G         F
The future's here to stay

                    C               G
But hey, we're just children of tomorrow

        F  G          Am F G    Am F G
Hangin' on to yesterday

C                   F
Jimmy still recalls the night

        C
When he took his guitar

Am               G
And headed on out

C               F
To find the big time

         C       Am
That was his dream

G       C
He gave up his past

    F
And made it alright

            C
But there's something missin'

       Am          G
In his heart tonight

C                  F
Sometimes what you want

               C     C G/B
Ain't what you need, no no

    Am
He misses drivin' down

            Em
To the lake at night

      F
Holdin' his baby

       C           C G/B
In his arms so tight

Am                    Em
Ain't it hard to find illusions

           F                 G
When you're livin' in a memory

          C            F
Just like prisoners in paradise

   C                F
So close but yet so far

      C
There will come a time

G/B  Am         G   F Dm
No matter who you are

G        F
When you ask yourself

       G
Was it right or wrong

    Am    G    F
For me to turn away

                    C               G
But hey, we're just children of tomorrow

      F    G        C
Hangin' on to yesterday

G  C            F
We prisoners in paradise

      C                 F
Still far from heaven's door

C         G/B           Am
We had it all but still we

       G   F
Wanted more

G       C            F
We just prisoners in paradise

   C                F
So close but yet so far

      C
There will come a time

G/B  Am         G   F Dm
No matter who you are

G        F
When you ask yourself

       G
Was it right or wrong

    Am    G    F
For me to turn away

                    C               G
But hey, we're just children of tomorrow

      F    G        C
Hangin' on to yesterday
