This is my first chord writing. Pretty close to the recording. The D-X mark is meaning that the X stops the strings (hitting the strings once) for a beat before going back into the G. It's kind of a quick 3 strum on the G & D. (G G G D D D X) NO CAPO! G5 D5 - X x3 (da da da da da etc) G5 D5 E5 Built a perfect house in a perfect town G5 D5 E5 Dreamt a perfect dream and it all fell down C5 D5 We held on tight like hungry lovers E5 D5 Watched the day break from beneath the covers G5 D5 E5 Had to know for sure what it's all about C5 D5 G5 Oh, this should be easy C5 D5 G5 Oh, just tell me we're happy D5 G5 Just building castles in the sand G5 D5 - 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 G5 D5 - X x3 Just building castles in the sand G5 E5 C5 The tides roll in and waves get closer C5 G5 D5 And knock us over and we get stronger every time G5 We build our castles in the sand G5 D5 E5 Built a perfect house in a perfect town G5 D5 E5 Dreamt a perfect dream and it all fell down C5 D5 G5 D5 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
