NOT Paradise City

[Intro] [Chord progression: G-C-F-C-G-G-C-F-C-G] Streetlights bleedin' through the haze, Another night in these wicked maze. The sirens scream, a mournful plea, This ain't no place for you and me! [Verse 1] [Chord progression: G-B-G-B-Gb-G-C-G] Dusty boots on cracked asphalt, Where shadows crawl and souls are bought. The neon signs, they flicker low, A twisted circus, putting on a show. Whispers haunt the alleyways, Lost in these forgotten days. The air is thick with desperation, A suffocating, dark sensation. [Chorus] [Chord progression: G-C-F-C-G-G-C-F-C-G] So, leave your dreams, forget your pride, There's nowhere left for hope to hide! This ain't Paradise City, boy, Just broken hearts and shattered joy! [Verse 2] [Chord progression: G-B-G-B-Gb-G-C-G] The barroom doors swing open wide, Where whiskey flows and fortunes slide. A smoky haze, a roaring crowd, Their secrets screamed, their voices loud. A hardened gaze, a steely stare, Life's a gamble, played with dare. The law is weak, the wicked thrive, Just try to keep your spirit alive. [Chorus] [Chord progression: G-C-F-C-G-G-C-F-C-G] So, leave your dreams, forget your pride, There's nowhere left for hope to hide! This ain't Paradise City, boy, Just broken hearts and shattered joy! [Verse 3] [Chord progression: G-B-G-B-Gb-G-C-G] The cityscape, a concrete scar, Beneath a broken, fading star. The backstreets crawl with hungry eyes, Feeding off the weary cries. Deception wears a painted smile, And virtue's lost within the mile. Every corner holds a threat, A burning fuse, you'll soon regret. [Chorus] [Chord progression: G-C-F-C-G-G-C-F-C-G] So, leave your dreams, forget your pride, There's nowhere left for hope to hide! This ain't Paradise City, boy, Just broken hearts and shattered joy! [Bridge] [Chord progression: G-C-F-C-G] We chase the thrill, we walk the line, This wild existence, yours and mine. In this inferno, we embrace, The brutal beauty of this place! [The Classic 80's Stadium Epic Guitar Solo!] [Chord progression: G-B-G-B-G-B-G-C-B] [Final Chorus] [Chord progression: G-C-F-C-G-G-C-F-C-G] So, leave your dreams, forget your pride, There's nowhere left for hope to hide! This ain't Paradise City, boy, Just broken hearts and shattered joy! So, leave your dreams, forget your pride, There's nowhere left for hope to hide! This ain't Paradise City, boy, Just broken hearts and shattered joy! [Outro] [Chord progression: G-C-F-C-G-G-C-F-C-G] Yeah, this ain't Paradise City, no! Just where the hardened spirits go! So turn your back, and run away, Before you're caught in this wicked fray!
