Topic: Shot Down in Paradise
This is a song I wrote mid 90's when my brain wasn't so straight and I forgot all about it until I read James song "Something to Hold" We have a line that is the same and it rekindled my memory. Thanks James

Shot Down in Paradiseby Ken Peters
mid-ninties
[G]I thought,a long time ago,[Cadd9]my life wasn't [G]lucky.
[G]My life flew by in the wink of an eye.
[Cadd9]My-y-y ain't life [G]funny
[G]Now I got nothing to show and I got nothing to say,
and my [Cadd9]life drags on like a [G]rainy day.
[G]I feel the fires and I feel the pain.
[Cadd9]My life isn't [G]sunny.
[C]Shot down in [G]paradise.
[B7]I'm too young to [C]lo-ose.
[B7]I'm shot down in [C]paradise,
and I've got no time for the [G]blu-es. [D]
[G]Dark nights,street lights, I'm [Cadd9]chasing shadows among my [G]dreams.
[G]I search my soul just to find my goal but I'm [Cadd9]coming up empty it [G]seems.
[G]Is this a waste of time or a dead end rhyme,
or a [Cadd9]time to remember all the [G]friends of mine.
[G]Is this a time to reflect,a time to reject.
[Cadd9]My-y-y ain't life [G]funny.
[C]Shot down in [G]paradise.
[B7]I'm too young to [C]lo-ose.
[B7]I'm shot down in [C]paradise,
and I've got no time for the [G]blu-es. [D]
[G]Now I see, empty, [Cadd9]visions of time to [G]come.
[G]I've passed my high and my wells run dr-y.
So [Cadd9]all I can do now is [G]run.
[G]But theres a message to learn when a high price is paid,
If the [Cadd9]hurt keeps hurtin it's a [G]masquerade.
[G]Cause when the battle is lost,whatever the cost,
[C]Life still goes [G]on.
[C]Shot down in [G]paradise.
[B7]I ain't gonna [C]lo-ose
[B7]Shot down in [C]paradise,
and I've got no time for the [G]blu-es. [D]
[G]I thought a long time ago,
[Cadd9]My life wasn't lucky.[G]
