Sandcastle chords by Livingston

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
A                     E
I saw a house on a shore that was standing tall
               F#m
And across the water I heard a call
                D
The sound of everything she loved just fell to pieces in the tide
A                 E
Seasons passed and they shook those walls
               F#m
Would her heartlast through it all
             Dm
I waded to my chest, and drowned a little just to watch the fire
N.C.
So can someone tell me

Chorus:
A                       E
Why she looks in the mirror thinking it's her fault

When she was the foundation
F#m        D
Ohh - Ohhh - Ohh
A                         E
I say the words but I know she can’t hear me talk

So I just get frustrated
F#m
Ohh - Ohhh
       Dm     N.C.
Cause I can't watch the sandcastle fall to the ground


Verse 2:
A                     E
I saw a light burning out from across the waves
                   F#m
Try to fix it but I know that can't I change
                Dm
Life to the way it was before
N.C.
Cause I know that she
A
Covers up the scars she’s scared to show
E
And watching doesn't help me let it go
F#m                         Dm
Cause I've been here before but I still don't know


Chorus:
A                       E
Why she looks in the mirror thinking it's her fault

When she was the foundation
F#m
Ohh - Ohhh - Ohh  D
A                      E
I say the words but I know she can't hear me talk

So I just get frustrated
F#m
Ohh - Ohhh
       D
Cause I can't watch the sandcastle fall to the ground


Bridge:
A  E  F#m  D

A
Cause I want to know
  E
If it all crashed down tonight
     F#m
Would you run towards the riptide
  D
To forget what you can't fight

A
Cause I want to know
    E
If you couldn’t stop the tide
     F#m
Would you call into the distance
     D
Would you hope that I’m alive


Chorus:
A                       E
Why she looks in the mirror thinking it's her fault

When she was the foundation
F#m        D
Ohh - Ohhh - Ohh
A                      E
I say the words but I know she can’t hear me talk

So I just get frustrated
F#m
Ohh - Ohhh
       D     N.C.
Cause I can't watch the sandcastle fall to the ground
