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

[E] Castles in the air, [F#m] I've got a dream, [B] I want the [E] world to share
