John Gorka - Paradise, Once


INTRO: C  F  C  F C

                  F
These birds don't sing in the rain
                   C
They're waiting for the sun to shine
               F
But I'm a man and a man-made thing
        Am    G
I can sing out anytime


          F
I can sing in the trees
                 G
I'll sing before the rivers rise
          F
Maybe make you believe
               G-Am
That we were part of paradise
      G      F  G-Am
We could be part of paradise
       G      F   C        F  C
'Cause we were part of paradise, once

            F
I don't have any wings
                   C
But there are nights when I can fly
              F
And I'll give you all of my rings
          Am     G
Like I'm the oldest tree alive


              F
But I can't stand like a tree
                 G
And you can cut me down to size
         F
Even make me believe
               G-Am
That we were part of paradise
      G      F  G-Am
We could be part of paradise
       G      F   C        F  C
'Cause we were part of paradise, once


            F
Nothing ever gets lost
           C
Just the pieces move around
                F
And I can't figure out the cost
               G
I know that it will even out


           F
Without feather or branch
                  G
Love brings you closer to the skies
             F
It can give you back the chance
              G-Am
To be where it was paradise
    G      F  G-Am
To see a part of paradise
    G      F   C        F  C
