Paradise Coldplay
Tabbed by Blagoja Evkoski, March 2012.
Since I didn't find a version that is 100% correct, and I really love
Coldplay, I decided to submit my own version that is both simple and correct.
There are a lot of chord changes, but I hope that I got it right.

Gm C Dm F x3
Bb F C C x2
INTRO (CHORUS MELODY):
Gm Bb F C x4
VERSE 1:
[Dm]When she was just a [Bb]girl
[F]She expected the [C]world
But it [Dm]flew away from her [Bb]reach
so she [F]ran away in her [C]sleep and dreamed of
[Gm]Para-pa[Bb]ra-paradise, [F]Para-par[C]a-paradise
[Gm]Para-pa[Bb]ra-paradise, [F]every time she [C]closed her eyes
BREAK:
Dm Bb F C x2
VERSE 2:
[Bb]When she was just a [Dm]girl
[Dm]She expected the [C]world
But it [Bb]flew away from her [Dm]reach
and the [Dm]bullets catch in her [C]teeth
[Gm]Life goes on, it [Bb]gets so heavy
The [F]wheel breaks the [C]butterfly
[Bb]Every tear a [F]waterfall
In the [Bb]night the stormy [F]night she closed her [C]eyes
In the [Bb]night the stormy [F]night away she [C]flies, and dreams of
CHORUS:
[Gm]Para-pa[Bb]ra-paradise
[F]Para-par[C]a-paradise
[Gm]Para-pa[Bb]ra-paradise

[Gm]Para-pa[Bb]ra-paradise
[F]Para-par[C]a-paradise

BRIDGE BREAK:

BRIDGE:
And so [Bb]lying under[F]neath those stormy [C]skies
She said "[Bb]Oh, ohohoh[F]oh I know the [C]sun must set to rise"
CHORUS:
This could be [Gm]para-pa[Bb]ra-paradise
[F]Para-par[C]a-paradise
[Gm]Para-pa[Bb]ra-paradise
[F]Oh oh oh oh [C]oh oh-oh
This could be [Gm]para-pa[Bb]ra-paradise

P.S. The only thing I'm not sure about is this piano ending, but I hope that it is
quite close. Enjoy!
