Sandcastles

          C9                    
If it's a rainy day, we can just 
  G
drive away
          C9                  G
But it's sunny outside so we might 
as well stay
           C9                      
Well, I'll collect some shells and 
     G
you move the sand
      C9                           
We'll build our little sandcastle 
     G
in a far-off land

      C9                  G
Where no one gets hurt and no one 
dies
         C9                  G
And your tears are scared of leaving
 your eyes
   C9                      G
So grab a shovel and start digging 
deep
          Em7                      
Cause our little sandcastle is all 
G
we can keep

        C9                         
And our little sandcastle will have
   G
 a swimming pool
    C9                       
A great big tower and maybe a 
 G
chicken coop
 C9                        G
We can run around playing tag in the
 yard
     C9                        G
Oh, why does this place have to be 
so far?

          C9                       
Well the east wing is done and now 
 G
for the west
          C9                       
We should build a few more rooms 
     G
for our friends and guests
        C9                  G
When we finally finish the north and
 the south
      C9                         
I'll show you why I chose you and 
  G
why you are mine

           Em7               G
Cause your ears are like the shells 
I found
      C9          G
They listen to my soul
         Em7               G
And your eyes reflect the war
        C9                     G
And our little sandcastle seems real
          Em7                     G
I want to leave this world and go

To a place where

      C9                  G
Where no one gets hurt and no one 
dies
         C9                  G
And your tears are scared of leaving
 your eyes
   C9                      G
So grab a shovel and start digging 
deep
          Em7                      
Cause our little sandcastle is all 
G
we can keep

     C9                            
Our little sandcastle will probably 
G
never exist
      C9                 G
But I like to dream and build our 
lives in it
         C9              G
And I'm sorry for never finishing 
our room
   C9                              
I didn't have enough time to make 
 G
it as beautiful as you

        Em7            G
When I lay my head to rest tonight
         C9                   
I'll be dreaming of our little 
     G
sandcastle life
            Em7                G
Where we'll never get hurt and never
 die
        C9                  G
And our eyes will refuse to let us 
cry

 C9                  G
No one gets hurt and no one dies
         C9                  G
And your tears are scared of leaving
 your eyes
   C9                      G
So grab a shovel and start digging 
deep
          Em7                      
Cause our little sandcastle is all 
G
we can keep
