[Verse 1]
       Emadd9                                          B7
He was paradise like the mist of an ocean breeze at sea, he prayed

       Emadd9                           B7                         Emadd9
As his chains had pulled him to heaven I cried, day and night, I’d close my eyes

                                    B7
And his arms I would remain til I expired, but clocks expire and I awake

Am                    Em          B7                             Em         E
Over me is where I belong, as the rain washed the peace that I’d known away

E7     Am                           Em
And it changed me, is chaos mean to shape me

       D   Dsus2 D Esus4 Em
Broken Down
[Chorus 1]
  Em                               D
I loved that man to death and when God laid him to rest

    C                        D           B7
The fire died inside me, frosted over my chest

       Em                             D
And it changed me deep inside, frozen tears fall from my eyes

  C                            D              B7
I gave into the darkness after he went to the light

        Am            Em            B7      Em
And sometimes in this life I see it all go

           Am       Em                    B7      Em
And though broken inside I make sure that I know

        Am               Em        B7      Em
Nothing bad will last forever even though

  Em Bm B7 B7     Emadd9
I lost     my paradise.
[Verse 2]
      Emadd9                                      B7
After paradise, I roamed aimless in my mind alone, disowned

  Emadd9                                        B7
I tried to let my mind speak freely, And though told to be myself, they wanted something else

   Emadd9                                                    B7
At times I had been played the fool, thought I broke the rules, but if I play I lose, so really what’s the use

   Am                             Em                 B7                   Em       E     E7       Am
To send my heart to test the waters, and not recover, so I put up my walls, and to think I thought

                            Em                      D  Dsus2 Esus4 Em
The world was getting drier, as the water rose higher, I drowned
[Chorus 2]
         Em                               D
and so I gave up on the world because the world gave up on me

  C                     D                   B7
I had nowhere to go, at least that’s how it seemed

            Em                               D
And when my sorrow had run dry, with no more tears for me to cry

  C                             D                B7
I built a wall around me so, no pain could get inside

        Am            Em            B7      Em
And sometimes in this life I see it all go

           Am       Em                    B7      Em
And though broken inside I make sure that I know

        Am               Em        B7      Em
Nothing bad will last forever even though

  Em Bm B7 B7     Emadd9
I lost     my paradise.
[Verse 3]
         Emadd9                                      B7
Newfound paradise, like a soft smile on a baby’s face, my heart and my mind’s an open space

     Emadd9                      B7
And amid the emptiness a melody, called out and to me, it was exactly what I needed

         Emadd9                                  B7
And then I found love within my strings, now the pain of my past moves hearts as I rise to sing

   Am                    Em                             B7                         Em  E E7
My music came to be, the reason for my quest for peace, my heart plays symphonies, now

            Am                       Em                   D Dsus2 D Esus4 Em
My life has been renewed, and I will see through, clearer skies
[Chorus 3]
             Em                              D
And when the light shone through the haze, I felt my darker days

     C                        D                    B7
Quickly recede behind me, and that is where they’d stay

    Em                        D
And soon followed the peace, existing through the least

C                          D            B7
Likely of the avenues, now I feel so relieved
[Outro]
        Am            Em            B7      Em
And sometimes in this life I see it all go

           Am       Em                    B7      Em
And though broken inside I make sure that I know

        Am               Em        B7      Em
Nothing bad will last forever even though

  Em Bm B7 B7     Emadd9
I lost     my paradise.
