This is such a simple song I really don't know why people are over complicating it with
their chords. There are two ways to play this: with capo and without. Both sound good.
WITHOUT CAPO:

Gmin Bb
When she was just a girl
Fmaj C
She expected the world
Gmin Bb
But it flew away from her reach so
Fmaj C
She ran away in her sleep
And dreamed of
Gmin Bb Fmaj C
Gmin Bb
Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise
Fmaj C
Every time she closed her eyes
Gmin Bb
When she was just a girl
Fmaj C
She expected the world
Gmin Bb
But it flew away from her reach

Fmaj C
And the bullets catch in her teeth
Gmin Bb
Life goes on, it gets so heavy
Fmaj C
The wheel breaks the butterfly
Gmin Bb
Every tear a waterfall
Gmin Bb Fmaj Fsus2
In the night the stormy night she'll close her eyes
Gmin Bb Fmaj Fsus2
In the night the stormy night away she'd fly
And dreams of
Gmin Bb
Para-para-paradise
Fmaj C
Para-para-paradise
Gmin Bb
Para-para-paradise

Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh
She'd dream of
Gmin Bb
Para-para-paradise
Fmaj C
Para-para-paradise
Gmin Bb
Para-para-paradise
Fmaj C
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh
Repeat the same pattern throughout the song
