Almost Paradise (from Footloose)

I thought that (D)dreams belonged to (Em)other men,

(D)'cause (C)each time I got (G)close they'd (D7)fall apart again.

(G)I feared my (D)heart would beat in (Em)secrecy.

(D)I (C)faced the nights (G)alone.

Oh (C)how could I have (G)known that (C)all my life I (G)only (B)needed (Em)you?

(C)Oh, almost (G)paradise, we're knockin' on (Em)heaven's door.

Almost (G)paradise.

How (Em)could we ask for more?

I (C)swear that I can (Am)see forever (G)in your (D7)eyes.

(C)(G)Paradise.

(G)It seems like (D)perfect love's so (Em)hard to find,

(D)I'd (C)almost given (G)up.

You (D7)must have read my mind.

(G)And all these (D)dreams I saved for (Em)rainy day,

(D)they're (C)fin'lly coming (G)true.

I'll (C)share them all with (G)you,

'cause (C)now we hold the (G)future (B)in our (Em)hands.

(C)Oh, almost (G)paradise, we're knockin' on (Em)heaven's door.

Almost (G)paradise.

How (Em)could we ask for more?

I (C)swear that I can (Am)see forever (G)in your (D7)eyes.

(C)(G)Paradise.

(Eb)And in your arms, salvation's (C)not so far away.

(Eb)It's getting closer.

(C)Closer ev'ry (D)day.

Almost

(C)(G)Paradise.
