capo 3rd fret
[F]There?s a thousand roads that get[Dm] there, an[F]d each one looks the [Dm]same,
[F]and with every step you?re [Dm]thinking. sho[Am]uld you have gone the other w[Am]ay.[7]
[F]There are those who give [Dm]direction, [F]even though they?re lost t[Dm]hemselves,
[F]and those who finally get [Dm]there, never[Am] really give no trace of the [Am7]trail.
[F]So, if you?re sea[Dm]rching for some p[C]eace of [C4sus]mind,[C]
[F]out in a world that?s [Dm]cold and u[C]nk[Csus4]ind,[C]
[F]hoping someone will t[Dm]hrow you a [C]si[Csus4]gn.[C]
[F]Paradise is a hard [Dm]place, a [C]hard p[Csus4]lace to [C]find.
[F]There are wise old [Dm]men who tell ya, [F]that?s it?s up there in the [Dm]sky.
[F]But I?ve flown those j[Dm]umbos, a[Am]nd believe me it?s a [Am7]lie.
[F]There are those that think it?s here [Dm]and now. [F]What you do with e[Dm]veryday.
[F]We better make the best of[Dm] living,we?r[Am]e gonna die for sure some[Am7] day.
[F]Searching for some [Dm] peace of [C]mi[Csus4]nd,[C]
[F]out in a world that is [Dm]cold [Dsus2]and [C]un[Csus4]kind.[C]
[F]Hoping someone will [Dm]show us a [C]si[Csus4]gn[C]
[F]Paradise is a hard [Dm]place
[F]Paradise is a hard [Dm]place
[F]Paradise is a hard [Dm]place, a [Dm]hard place to [C]fi[Csus4]nd.[C]
[F]I?m not trying to be [G] no prophet. [F]I?m not trying to [G]change your mind
[F]But I think that this [Dm]searching is , [C]such a [Csus4]waste of [C]time.
[F]There are those that have [Dm]religion, [F]Teach them how to live[Dm] each day.
[F]Yes, they believe in P[Dm]aradise. All[Am] you have to do is pr[Am7]ay.
[F]But me myself I?m [Dm]easy. I d[F]on?t really have to kn[Dm]ow.
[F]Just as long as I?m still [Dm] breathing, and[Am] I?ve got somewhere to [Am7]go.
[F]Searching for some[Dm] peace of[C-Csus4-C] mind. [F]Out in a world that is[Dm] cold an[C-Csus4-C]d unkind
[F]Hoping someone will [Dm] throw us a [C-Csus4-C] line
[F]Paradise is a hard [Dm]place
