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
