[Verse 1] 
D                   C
I went in search of paradise
D                                 C
They said it would be good for my head
D                   C
I went in search of paradise
D                           C
But she took me by the hand instead

[Chorus 1]
Bm    G
Paris London
Bm         G
Glamor and despair
Bm             G
Ruins we were ruined over there
Bm             G
Ruins we were ruined over there

[Verse 2]
D                             C
And when you think you are in paradise
D                          C
But you find your arms are tied
D                      C
Captive in the name of paradise
D                      C
The chains are all her lies

[Chorus 2]
Bm    G
Paris London
Bm         G
Glamor and despair
Bm             G
Ruins we were ruined over there
Bm             G
Ruins we were ruined over there

[Verse 3]
D                         C
The picture on the screen is moving still
D                                 C
It's moving all the time
D                   C
If only you could freeze frame a moment there
D                           C
You could have paradise all the time

[Chorus 3]
Bm    G
Paris London
Bm         G
Glamor and despair
Bm             G
Ruins we were ruined over there
Bm             G
Ruins we were ruined over there

(spoken)
D             A                     Em        G
I don't think anyone's ever been to paradise
D       A                    Em        G
because paradise is based on lies
D             A                  Em         G
I don't think anyone's ever felt paradise
D       A                    Em        G
because paradise is based on lies
