Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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


Bridge:
A augmentedA  E MajorE  F# minorF#m  D MajorD

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

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


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

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

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