F 
I still care about Christian 
C 
Does he care about me? 
G 
When I see him around he looks down, 
F 
afraid of what he?ll see 

F 
And I know there?s a heaven 
C 
that he?s trying to find 
G 
But it's hell that he makes, callous and afraid 
F 
of the ones he?s left behind 

(Intro again) 

F 
And the touch of his body, 
C 
so tender and cruel, 
G 
when he made me play girlfriend, 
F 
there wasn?t much I could do 

F 
He?d come to my garret, 
C 
and we?d make something like love 
G 
But the flowers he gave me have wilted, 
C 
but I keep them, like I keep him 

C 
He wants a life after life 
        G 
But the world he didn?t love, 
        F 
and the one he didn?t love 
should have been 

C 
Night after night 
        G 
But the world he didn?t love, 
        F 
and the one he didn?t love 
will never know 


(Intro again with this:) 
F   C 
G         F 
paradise 


F 
When he makes his confessions, 
C 
when he says his prayers 
G 
and kneels beside his bed in the moonlight, 
F 
is a part of me there? 

F 
He?s taken up with a new girl, 
C 
who keeps his conscience clean, 
G 
and tells him he?s a keeper, 
F 
though I don't know if he knows what that means 

C 
He wants a life after life 
        G 
But the world he didn?t love, 
        F 
and the one he didn?t love 
should have been 

C 
Night after night 
        G 
But the world he didn?t love, 
        F 
and the one he didn?t love 
will never know 

F  G 
C          F 
paradise 

F  G 
      So live in(??) 

C 
... 
        G 
But the world he didn?t love, 
        F 
and the one he didn?t love 
should have been 

C 
(Should have been) 
        G 
But the world he didn?t love, 
        F 
and the one he didn?t love 
will never know 

C 
... 
G    F 
Paradise 

C 
... 
G    F 
Paradise 

(End on C)
