[Intro]
G  G5/F#  Em7  Csus2


[Verse 1]
          G                      G5/F#
If it's a rainy day, we can just drive away
         Em7                 Cadd9
But it's sunny outside so we might as well stay
           G                           G5/F#
Well, I'll collect some shells and you move the sand
      Em7                              Csus2
We'll build our little sandcastle in a far-off land


[Chorus]
      Cadd9                G
Where no one gets hurt and no one dies
         Cadd9               G
And your tears are scared of leaving your eyes
   Cadd9                    G
So grab a shovel and start digging deep
          Em7                G
Cause our little sandcastle is all we can keep


[Verse 2]
G                                     G5/F#
And our little sandcastle will have a swimming pool
  Em7                         Cadd9
A great big tower and maybe a chicken coop
       G                  G5/F#
We can run around playing tag in the yard
    Em7                         Csus2
Oh, why does this place have to be so far?


[Verse 3]
         G                     G5/F#
Well the east wing is done and now for the west
          Em7                            Cadd9
We should build a few more rooms for our friends and guests
        G                  G5/F#
When we finally finish the north and south
     Em7                          Csus2
I'll show you why I chose you and why you are mine


[Bridge]
           Em7               Csus2
Cause your ears are like the shells I found
     G            G5/F#
They listen to my soul
          Em7             Csus2
And your eyes reflect the war
        G                       G5/F#
And our little sandcastle seems real
  Em7                Csus2
I want to leave this world and go
G    G5/F#
To a place where


[Chorus]
      Cadd9                G
Where no one gets hurt and no one dies
         Cadd9               G
And your tears are scared of leaving your eyes
   Cadd9                    G
So grab a shovel and start digging deep
          Em7                G
Cause our little sandcastle is all we can keep


[Verse 4]
G                                   G5/F#
Our little sandcastle will probably never exist
      Em7                         Cadd9
But I like to dream and build our lives in it
        G               G5/F#
And I'm sorry for never finishing our room
  Em7                                   Csus2
I didn't have enough time to make it as beautiful as you


[Verse 5]
       G                   G5/F#
When I lay my head to rest tonight
        Em7                        Cadd9
I'll be dreaming of our little sandcastle life
            G                  G5/F#
Where we'll never get hurt and never die
        Em7                 Csus2
And our eyes will refuse to let us cry


[Outro]
Cadd9                G
No one gets hurt and no one dies
         Cadd9               G
And your tears are scared of leaving your eyes
   Cadd9                    G
So grab a shovel and start digging deep
          Em7                G
Cause our little sandcastle is all we can keep
