[Intro]
G G5/F# Em7 Csus2
[Verse 1]
G G5/F#
If it's a rainy day, we can just drive away
Em7 Cadd9
But it's sunny outside so we might as well stay
G G5/F#
Well, I'll collect some shells and you move the sand
Em7 Csus2
We'll build our little sandcastle in a far-off land
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G
Where no one gets hurt and no one dies
Cadd9 G
And your tears are scared of leaving your eyes
Cadd9 G
So grab a shovel and start digging deep
Em7 G
Cause our little sandcastle is all we can keep
[Verse 2]
G G5/F#
And our little sandcastle will have a swimming pool
Em7 Cadd9
A great big tower and maybe a chicken coop
G G5/F#
We can run around playing tag in the yard
Em7 Csus2
Oh, why does this place have to be so far?
[Verse 3]
G G5/F#
Well the east wing is done and now for the west
Em7 Cadd9
We should build a few more rooms for our friends and guests
G G5/F#
When we finally finish the north and south
Em7 Csus2
I'll show you why I chose you and why you are mine
[Bridge]
Em7 Csus2
Cause your ears are like the shells I found
G G5/F#
They listen to my soul
Em7 Csus2
And your eyes reflect the war
G G5/F#
And our little sandcastle seems real
Em7 Csus2
I want to leave this world and go
G G5/F#
To a place where
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G
Where no one gets hurt and no one dies
Cadd9 G
And your tears are scared of leaving your eyes
Cadd9 G
So grab a shovel and start digging deep
Em7 G
Cause our little sandcastle is all we can keep
[Verse 4]
G G5/F#
Our little sandcastle will probably never exist
Em7 Cadd9
But I like to dream and build our lives in it
G G5/F#
And I'm sorry for never finishing our room
Em7 Csus2
I didn't have enough time to make it as beautiful as you
[Verse 5]
G G5/F#
When I lay my head to rest tonight
Em7 Cadd9
I'll be dreaming of our little sandcastle life
G G5/F#
Where we'll never get hurt and never die
Em7 Csus2
And our eyes will refuse to let us cry
[Outro]
Cadd9 G
No one gets hurt and no one dies
Cadd9 G
And your tears are scared of leaving your eyes
Cadd9 G
So grab a shovel and start digging deep
Em7 G
Cause our little sandcastle is all we can keep
