Intro

G    D    Em    F  C  (x2)


G                D             Em
Build your dream castle out of sand
     F            C         G
It's bound to get washed up anyway
           D                  Em
Dream your dreams out of last week
        F             C       G
They're bound to have come up yesterday

       C                 D
If you want to give them flowers
          C              D
Make them paper ones you send
C                D
Live your life a jigsaw
        C           G           Am
It goes back in the box, in the end


G                D                Em
Build your dream heart from plasticine
              F     C        G
'Cause you're putty in their hands
             D            Em
Mould your ambition in concrete
              F    C       G
'Cause you'll only land in quicksand


C                     D
Carve your dough from play-dough
               C               D
'Cause they'll roll you into a ball
C                      D
Make your friends from Lego
       C  G         Am
'Cause Lego makes a wall


       G
'Cause when you build big houses
    C
The paintings get stolen
    G
The devil says he's silver
         C
When you know that he is golden
                                                 Em
When papier mâché heads make more sense than the sun
c                                              Em
Giving teacher apples could be fun or could be dumb


Instrumental

G    D    Em    F  C  G

C                      D
Build your planes from Airfix
              C             D
'Cause you'll only lose the war
           C                    D
Write your love letters on rice paper
   C   G                 Am
At least you'll feed the poor


G                D             Em
Build your dream castle out of sand
     F            C         G
It's bound to get washed up anyway
           D                  Em
Dream your dreams out of last week
        F             C       G
They're bound to have come up yesterday
        F             C       G
They're bound to have come up yesterday
