Verse 1:
               E minorEm G+G
Once I built a castle in the air,
          D MajorD
A augmentedA home for you and I
D MajorD
In a blue, blue sky.
                    E minorEm  G+G
We'd leave behind the weight of worldly care,
          D MajorD
I thought we could fly
D MajorD
We only had to try.

I knew at last

Hell and heaven can be one and the same,
         D MajorD
If you don't know how
D MajorD
You should know by now,
                E minorEm       G+G
Every pleasure always holds an equal share of pain
         D MajorD
But it all works out,
D MajorD
I have no doubt.

Up to who knows where? Castles in the air.

So there are strings attached to you and I

We can take flight - we can take flight
