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

        C9                            G
And our little sandcastle will have a swimming pool
    C9                        G
A great big tower and maybe a 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                        G
Well the east wing is done and now for the west
          C9                            G
We should build a few more rooms for our friends and guests
        C9                  G
When we finally finish the north and the south
      C9                           G
I'll show you why I chose you and 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                      G
Cause our little sandcastle is all we can keep

     C9                            G
Our little sandcastle will probably 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                               G
I didn't have enough time to make it as beautiful as you

        Em7            G
When I lay my head to rest tonight
         C9                        G
I'll be dreaming of our little 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                      G
Cause our little sandcastle is all we can keep
