The Other Side Of Paradise

[F] [E] [Am] [G] x4

[Am]When I was young and [G]stupid my love

[F]Left to be a [C]rock and roll star

[Am]He told me [G]please don't worry

[F]Wise little smile that [C]spoke so safely

[Am]He booked a [G]one way ticket

[F]Out west that's [C]where they make it

[Am]Six kids stuck [G]in a bedsit

[F]To sunswept [C]poolside riches

[Am] [G] [F] [C]

[Am]He met a girl who [G]wore Versace

[F]Pink feather coats and [C]jumbo jewelry

[Am]Gonna be a [G]hoop phenomenon

[F]He's gonna be [C]Hakeem Olajuwon

[Am]He's got a [G]gold Camaro

[F]He said o[C]ver the payphone

[Am]I try to [G]keep my cool but

[F]My life turns [C]in slow motion

[F]Bye bye baby [E]blue

I wish you could [Am]see the wicked [G]truth

Caught up in a [F]rush it's killing [E]you

Screaming at the [Am]sun you blow [G]into

Curled up in a [F]grip when we were [E]us

Fingers in a [Am]fist like you might [G]run

I settle for a [F]ghost I never [E]knew

Super para[Am]dise I held on [G]to

Curled up in a [F]grip when we were [E]us

Fingers in a [Am]fist like you might [G]run

I settle for a [F]ghost I never [E]knew

Super para[Am]dise I held on [G]to

But I settle for a [F]ghost [E] [Am] [G]

[Am]When I was from n.o.[G]l.a no one

[F]Left to be a [C]rock and roll star

[Am]He'd stay and [G]treat his lady

[F]Give everything to [C]his new baby

[Am]I miss him [G]don't you blame me

[F]That boy went [C]stone cold crazy

[Am]Caught up in [G]camera lust he's

[F]Chasing that [C]pappy pipe dreams

[Am] [G] [F] [C] x2

[E] [F] x2

[F]I know you don't but I

[E]I know you don't but I still [F]try

[E]My thunder came and shook him [Am]down

[E]That girl is gone but I still [F]try

[E]The bullet hit but maybe [Am]not

[E]It hits my head and I feel [F]numb

[E]My body's looking wrong

[F]Bye bye baby [E]blue

I wish you could [Am]see the wicked [G]truth

Caught up in a [F]rush it's killing [E]you

Screaming at the [Am]sun you blow [G]into

Curled up in a [F]grip when we were [E]us

Fingers in a [Am]fist like you might [G]run

I settle for a [F]ghost I never [E]knew

Super para[Am]dise I held on [G]to

But I settle for a [F]ghost
