[Verse]
Dm
I cried out to listening ears
Dm
A childhood of learning new fears
Dm
Words that were promised by a whisper in my ear
Dm
Remembering days before me and counting down the years
[Chorus]
D D/C
Oh
D/C G/B
Is it a bird in the hand
D D/C
Or
D/C G/B
Castles in the sand
D D/C
Oh
D/C G/B
It’s been a long time coming
D D/C C/G
[Interlude]
Dm
[Verse 2]
Dm
I cross the land of peers
Dm
And comforts suppress my tears
Dm
I’m bound by expectation but I don’t know who to blame
Dm
The roads been laid before me but I don’t think the same
[Chorus 2]
D D/C
Oh
D/C G/B
Is it a bird in the hand
D D/C
Or
D/C G/B
Castles in the sand
D D/C
Oh
D/C G/B
It’s been a long time coming
D D/C C/G

[Verse 3]
Dm
Now I am the breaker of chains
Dm
And I have fire deep in my veins
Dm
I once believed that there’s no other way but I wanted more
Dm
I reached out for the last time through the door of evermore
[Chorus 3]
D D/C
Oh
D/C G/B
Is it a bird in the hand
D D/C
Or
D/C G/B
Castles in the sand
D D/C
Oh
D/C G/B
It’s been a long time coming
D/C G/B
It’s been a long time coming
