Paradise Lost Chords & Lyrics - Misc Your Songs - David Williams

[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
And his arms I would remain til I ex[B7]pired, but clocks expire and I awake
[Am]Over me is where I bel[Em]ong, as the [B7]rain washed the peace that I’d [Em]known away [E]
[E7]And it [Am]changed me, is chaos mean to [Em]shape me
Broken [D]Down[Dsus2] [D] [Esus4] [Em]

[CHORUS 1]
I [Em]loved that man to death and when [D]God laid him to rest
The [C]fire died inside me, fros[D]ted over my [B7]chest
And it [Em]changed me deep inside, frozen [D]tears fall from my eyes
I [C]gave into the darkness after [D]he went to the [B7]light
And some[Am]times in this [Em]life I see it [B7]all go [Em]
And though [Am]broken in[Em]side I make sure that [B7]I know [Em]
Nothing [Am]bad will last for[Em]ever even [B7]though [Em]
[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
To [Am]send my heart to test the water[Em]s, and not recover,[B7] so I put up my walls[Em] , and to [E]think [E7]I thought[Am]
The world was getting drier,[Em] as the water rose highe[D]r, [Dsus2]I drow[Esus4]ned [Em]

[CHORUS 2]
and so I [Em]gave up on the world because the [D]world gave up on me
I [C]had nowhere to go, at [D]least that’s how it [B7]seemed
And when my [Em]sorrow had run dry, with no more [D]tears for me to cry
I [C]built a wall around me so, no [D]pain could get in[B7]side
And some[Am]times in this [Em]life I see it [B7]all go [Em]
And though [Am]broken in[Em]side I make sure that [B7]I know [Em]
Nothing [Am]bad will last for[Em]ever even [B7]though [Em]
[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
My [Am]music came to be, the [Em]reason for my quest for peace, [B7]my heart plays symphonies, [Em]now [E] [E7]
My life has [Am]been renewed, and I will [Em]see through, clearer [D]sk[Dsus2]ies [D] [Esus4] [Em]

[CHORUS 3]
And when the [Em]light shone through the haze, I [D]felt my darker days
Quick[C]ly recede behind me, and [D]that is where they’d [B7]stay
And [Em]soon followed the peace, e[D]xisting through the least
[C]Likely of the avenues, now [D]I feel so rel[B7]ieved

[OUTRO]
And some[Am]times in this [Em]life I see it [B7]all go [Em]
And though [Am]broken in[Em]side I make sure that [B7]I know [Em]
Nothing [Am]bad will last for[Em]ever even [B7]though [Em]
[Em] [Bm] [B7] [B7] Emadd9
I lost my paradise.
