[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.
