[E] [F#m] [A]
[E] [F#m]
[E] [F#m]
[E] [B] [E]
And if she asks you why you can tell her that I told you that [F#m] I'm tired
[C#]
Castles in [E] the air.
[F#m] I've got a dream.
[B] I want [E] the world to share and [F#m] castle walls
[B] Just lead [E] me to [B] despair
[E]
Hills of forest green where the mountains touch the sky a [F#m] dream come true
[B] I'll live [E] there till I die.
I'm [F#m] asking you to [B] say my [E] last goodbye to [F#m] love we knew
[B] Ain't [E] worth another try
Save [F#m]
me from [B] all the trouble [E] and the pain
I [A] know I am [G#] weak, [F#m] but I can't face that [E] girl [B] again
[A] Tell [B] [F#m]
her the reasons [B] why [E] I can't remain [A] perhaps she'll [F#m] understand
If you tell it [C#m] to her [B] plain
[F#m] [B] How
[E] can words express the feel of sunlight in the morning in [F#m] the hills
[B] Away from [E] city strife.
I [F#m] needed a country [B] woman [E] for my wife
I'm [F#m] city born, but [B] I love [E] the country life
[B] [E] Or I will not be part of her cocktail generation
[F#m] Partners walls [B] devoid [E] of all romance the [F#m] music plays
[B] Everyone [E] must dance [F#m] bowing out.
I need a [E] second [B]
chance
[E]
[F#m] Save me from all [B] the trouble [E] and the pain
I know [A] I am weak, [F#m] but I can't face that girl [B] [A] again
[B]
[F#m] Tell her the reasons why [E] I can't remain [A] perhaps [C#m] she'll understand
[F#m] [A] If you tell it to her [B] plain
And [E]
if she asks you why you can tell her that I told you that [F#m] I'm tired
[E] Castles in the air.
I've [F#m] got a dream.
I [B] want [E] the world to share and [F#m]
castle walls
Just [E] lead me to despair
