E                  Emaj7
And if she asks you why
        A               E                 F#m7
you can tell her that I told you that I'm tired
   B7             E               F#m7
of castles in the air, I've got a dream
  B7                E                F#m7
I want the world to share and castle walls
     B7            E  Emaj7  E6   E
just lead me to despair

E                 Emaj7
Hills of forest green
          A               E                    F#m7
where the mountains touch the sky a dream come true
     B7                E               F#m7
I'll live there till I die, I'm asking you
   B7              E                F#m7
to say my last goodbye, the love we knew
      B7            E  Emaj7  E6   E
ain't worth another try

[Chorus]
F#m7                   B7              E
  Save me from all the trouble and the pain
          A         A/G#     F#m7           B7   F#m7  B7  F#m7 B7
I know I'm weak but I can't face that girl again
F#m7                   B7             E
  Tell her the reasons why I can't remain
         A             A/G#   F#m7               B7   F#m7  B7  F#m7 B7
Perhaps she'll understand, if you tell it to her plain

[Verse]
E                   Emaj7
But how can words express
            A               E              F#m7
the feel of sunlight in the morning in the hills,
     B7           E           F#m7
away from city strife, I need a
        B7           E              F#m7
country woman for my wife, I'm city born,
      B7               E  Emaj7  E6   E
but I love the country life

E                 Emaj7
For I will not be part
       A            E                F#m7
of her cocktail generation, partners waltz
  B7            E               F#m7
Devoid of all romance the music plays
    B7            E                F#m7
and everyone must dance I'm bowing out
  B7            E  Emaj7  E6   E
I need a second chance

[Chorus]
F#m7                   B7              E
  Save me from all the trouble and the pain
          A         A/G#     F#m7           B7   F#m7  B7  F#m7 B7
I know I'm weak but I can't face that girl again
F#m7                   B7             E
  Tell her the reasons why I can't remain
         A             A/G#   F#m7               B7   F#m7  B7  F#m7 B7
Perhaps she'll understand, if you tell it to her plain

[Verse]
E                  Emaj7
And if she asks you why
        A               E                 F#m7
you can tell her that I told you that I'm tired
   B7             E               F#m7
of castles in the air, I've got a dream
  B7                E                F#m7
I want the world to share and castle walls
     B7            E  Emaj7  E6   E
just lead me to despair
