Verse 1:
    D               Dmaj7
And if she asks you why
        Dsus2            D                 Em
you can tell her that I told you that I'm tired
    A             D               Em
of castles in the air, I've got a dream
   A                 D                Em
I want the world to share and castle walls
      A             D  Dmaj7  D6
just lead me to despair.

D                 Dmaj7
Hills of forest green
          Dsus2                D                Em
where the mountains touch the sky a dream come true
      A                 D              Em
I'll live there till I die, I'm asking you
    A               D                Em
to say my last goodbye ,the love we knew
       A             D  Dmaj7  D6
ain't worth another try.

Em7                   A               D
Save me from all the trouble and the pain
            G   G/F#  Em7 Em7/D   Em              A   Asus4 A   Asus2
I know I'm weak, but  I  can't  face that girl again

Tell her the reasons why I can't remain
         G      G/F#  Em7  Em7/D   Em              A  Asus4 A  Asus2
Perhaps she'll understand, if you tell it to her plain

Verse 3:
    D                Dmaj7
But how can words express
            Dsus2            D              Em
the feel of sunlight in the morning in the hills,
  A              D              Em
away from city strife, I need a
         A            D              Em
country woman for my wife, I'm city born,
       A                   D  Dmaj7  D6
but I love the country life.

Verse 4:
  D            Dmaj7
For I can not be part
       Dsus2         D                Em
of her cocktail generation, partners waltz
   A             D               Em
Devoid of all romance the music plays
    A              D               Em
and everyone must dance I'm bowing out
   A               D  Dmaj7  D6
I need a second chance.

Chorus:
Em7                   A               D
Save me from all the trouble and the pain

I know I'm weak, but  I  can't  face that girl again
Em7                   A            D
Tell her the reasons why I can't remain
         G      G/F#  Em7  Em7/D   Em              A  Asus4 A  Asus2
