[Fm] [Eb]
And if she asks you why, you can tell her that I told you that [Fm] I'm tired [Bb] of [Eb] castles
in the air.
[F] I've got a dream [Bb] I want [Eb] the world to share, and [Fm] castle walls just lead me [Eb] to despair.
Hills of forest green [Ab] where the mountains touch [Eb] the sky, a [Fm] dream come true, [Bb] I'll [Eb] live
there till I die.
[Fm] I'm asking you to say my [Eb] last goodbye, the [Fm] love we knew ain't worth [Eb] another try.
[Fm] Save me from [Bb] all the trouble [Eb] and the pain, I know [Ab] I'm weak, [Cm] but I [Fm] can't face that girl
[Bb] again.

Tell her the [Bbm] reasons [Eb] why I can't remain, [Ab] perhaps she'll [Fm]
understand if you tell it [Bb] to her plain.

[F] I'm city-born, [Eb] but I love the country life.
[Ab] [Eb]
For I cannot be part of [Ab] the cocktail [Eb] generation, [F] partners, [Bb] waltz, devoid of [Eb] all romance.

[F] I'm bowing out, [Bb] I [Eb] need a second chance.
