Chorus:
           FF
I’m in my room making cardboard castles
   C majorC
With shoestring rope
FF
Soup spoon drawbridge
C majorC
Tinfoil moat

Verse 1:
      FF              C majorC
Because if we don’t build it who will?
         FF              C majorC
I do things on a shoestring that you couldn’t do for a cool mil
A minorAm          G6G6
 I run with no laces,  and when I fall, I start
FF              C majorC
 To build my Taj Mahal with shit I found at Dollarmart
FF
 This life’s our greatest project
C majorC
 The journey’s all an art
FF               C majorC
 But I built my perfect nest, and it’s ‘bout to fall apart
A minorAm          G6G6
 Again and again and then I just I make it twice as high
FF              C majorC
 And I give my tower teeth, and I watch it bite the sky
FF               C majorC
 Because I might just cry if I don’t keep it moving
 FF              C majorC
I focus on what I can make and not what just got ruined
    A minorAm        G6G6       FF         C majorC
‘Cause every stone will crumble down to dust, to dust, to dust
FF               C majorC
 And I say love thy neighbor, and I say fuck thy hater
FF                  C majorC
 There’s nothing I can’t solve with duct tape and construction paper
A minorAm               G6G6       FF        C majorC
 I don’t want a Band-Aid, I’ll  only rip it off, I’ll rip it off

Bridge:
      FF    C majorC
Out on the curb again
    FF    C majorC
On the curb again
   A minorAm         G6G6
I’ve come to learn it’s hard and firm
  FF       C majorC
Out on the curb again
(I’m in my room making cardboard castles)
      FF    C majorC
Out on the curb again
(With shoestring rope)
    FF    C majorC
On the curb again
(Soup spoon drawbridge, tinfoil moat)
   A minorAm         G6G6
I’ve come to learn it’s hard and firm
(I’m still dreaming after all these)
  FF       C majorC
Out on the curb again
(years)


Verse 2:
FF             C majorC
 I know someday I’ll pass, and maybe then rest
FF
 I’m laying on my back;
C majorC
 Heaven’s my bench press
A minorAm           G6G6
 ‘Cause my imagination is crazy as Glenn Beck
FF              C majorC
 A augmentedA cloud is floating by in the shape of a rent check
FF          C majorC
 And when the world ends, that’s what I’ll plan towards
FF            C majorC
 Then I’ll trust girlfriends and maybe landlords
A minorAm              G6G6
 Cause I been played but I’m looking for more
   FF             C majorC
I say, "What would I gain if I took it to court?"
     FF                C majorC
‘Cause if  people were perfect then there wouldn’t be war
    FF              C majorC
We stay  pushing but once we get a foot in the door
      A minorAm           G6G6
We get our toes chopped off and a foot of manure
    FF
I still  gotta believe people
  C majorC
Are good at the core
       FF
‘Cause if we weren’t, what’s at stake?
     C majorC            FF
Why would we stay to break what we make
           C majorC
And create all these beautiful mistakes
     A minorAm         G6G6        FF           C majorC
When they blow our house down let’s draw on the walls, the walls, the walls
