VERSE1
Am F/A
There must’ve been a moment
C G
A second or a time
Am F/A C G
When I didn't look up or I missed some kind of sign
Am F/A
Turned the wrong direction
C G
When she was just an inch away
Am F/A
Like a missed connection
C G
And my future slipped away
PRE-CHORUS
Fsus4 F
There've been times when I feel like I'm
Fsus4 Am7
Conspired against by fate
Bsus4 Dsus4 D
It's almost bad enough to make me hate
CHORUS
Am F C G
I'm sick of building castles in the sand
Am F G C D (Em)
Just waiting for another fake to break my promised land
F G C G/B Am G
I've been looking for the real thing in a lonely one night stand
D/F# F G
Like building castles in the sand
[1/2 of INTRO]
VERSE2/PRE-CHORUS
Am F/A C G
Cos it terrifies me, ending up alone
Am F/A C G
And it walks beside me, the ghost of chances gone
Bsus4 F Bsus4 Am7
Did I have it did I let it go, or close the door too fast?
Bsus4 Dsus4 D
Is there an answer locked up in my past?...in my past
CHORUS2
Am F C G
I'm sick of building castles in the sand
Am F G C D (Em)
Seems like everybody else I know can hold it in their hands
F G C B/G Am G
So will it ever happen or am I doomed to walk this land
D/F# F G
Just building castles in the sand?
[SOLO]
Am F/A C G x2
Bsus4 F Bsus4 G G/A G/B
INTERLUDE
D5 E5 F5 G5 A5 B5 C5 E5
I've been crying, I've been living alone so long
D5 E5 F5 G5
I've been over and over the reasons
F G
But I can't find the thing that's wrong
D5 E5 F5 G5 A5 G5 E5 B5
In my mind, all the evidence seems to say
C G Em
I wouldn't even know it if she walked right in today
CHORUS2
Am F C G
I'm sick of building castles in the sand
Am F G C D (Em)
Seems like everybody else I know can hold it in their hands
F G C B/G Am G
So will it ever happen or am I doomed to walk this land
D/F# G Em Am... (repeat Am-F-C-G)
Just building castles in the sand
PLAY TOO ..
