>>Thunder was a great band that didn't get as much attention as they
would've deserved. This is one of their great rock songs. The chorus
and interlude are played with power chords I think. Try it out.<<

VERSE1
There must'v[Am]e been a momen[F/A]t
A [C]second or a ti[G]me
When I [Am]didn't look u[F/A]p or I [C]missed some kind of si[G]gn
Turned the [Am]wrong direction[F/A]
When she was [C]just an inch aw[G]ay
Like a [Am]missed connection[F/A]
And my [C]future slipped a[G]way
PRE-CHORUS
[Fsus4] There've been times when I [F]feel like I'm
Con[Fsus4]spired against by fate[Am7]
[Bsus4] It's almost bad enough to make me [Dsus4]hate[D]
CHORUS
[Am] I'm sick of building cas[F]tles in the sa[C]nd[G]
[Am] Just waiting for a[F]nother fake to [G]break m[C]y promise[D]d land[(Em)]
[F] I've been looking for the [G]real thing in a [C]lonely [G/B]one night [Am]stand[G]
[D/F#] Like building castles in the [F]sand[G]
(1/2 of INTRO)
VERSE2/PRE-CHORUS
Cos it [Am]terrifies [F/A]me, e[C]nding up a[G]lone
And it [Am]walks beside[F/A] me, the [C]ghost of chances [G]gone
[Bsus4] Did I have it did I [F]let it go, or [Bsus4]close the door too fas[Am7]t?
[Bsus4] Is there an answer locked up in my [Dsus4]past?...in my [D]past
CHORUS2
[Am] I'm sick of building cas[F]tles in the sa[C]nd[G]
[Am] Seems like everybody [F]else I know can [G]hold it [C]in their [D]hands[(Em)]
[F] So will it ever [G]happen or am I [C]doomed to[B/G] walk this [Am]land[G]
[D/F#] Just building castles in the [F]sand[G]?

INTERLUDE
I've been [D5]cryi[E5]ng, I've been [F5]living al[G5]one so long[A5][B5][C5][E5]
I've been [D5]over and [E5]over the re[F5]asons[G5]
But I [F]can't find the thing that's [G]wrong
In my [D5]mind[E5], all the [F5]evidence se[G5]ems to say[A5][G5][E5][B5]
[C] I wouldn't even know it if she [G]walked right in to[Em]day
