Castles In The Sand

Philosopher Kings


Tom: G

G               D                   Em
Built a perfect house in a perfect town
G                 D                    Em
Dreamt a perfect dream and it all fell down
C                     D
We held on tight like hungry lovers
Em                           D
Watched the day break from beneath the covers
G               D                  Em
Had to know for sure what it's all about

C   D              G
Oh, this should be easy
C   D                  G
Oh, just tell me we're happy
D                            G
Just building castles in the sand

G D - X x3
(da da na na, da da na na)


I saw the naked light and it burned my eyes
Couldn't look away, no matter how I tried
I watched you explode when you think it's over
Burst in colour like a super nova
Had to track you down, had to find you out

Oh, this should be easy
Oh, just tell me we're happy

Just building castles in the sand
G D - X x3
Just building castles in the sand

G                 Em            C
The tides roll in and waves get closer
C            G               D
And knock us over and we get stronger every time
                            G
We build our castles in the sand
G               D                  Em
Built a perfect house in a perfect town
G                D                     Em
Dreamt a perfect dream and it all fell down
C   D                  G    D
Oh, just tell me we're happy

Just building castles in the sand
G D - X x3 (Till Fade out)
Just building castles in the sand
Just building castles in the sand
Just building castles in the sand
