Capo 2nd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Verse1
( )
Met you at the mall
( )
Didnt know how far I would fall
My friends said I was a fool (youre a fool) (shut up)
Cause you were older and got kicked out of school (youre so rad)
( )
Together we were gonna travel the globe
From Alberta to Ontario
Chorus1
( )
But now Im building sandcastles in the sand (sandcastles in the sand)
( )
Thought I could fly when you held my hand (thought I could fly)
( )
But now eternity turns to black and white
( )
It was the greatest week and a half of my life
Verse2
We used to go to the beach
Back when happiness was in our reach (so close)
On our favorite bench
Wed sit and talk and you taught me to French
Youre good at pullups and have radical hair
I hate my dad hes so unfair (you dont understand our love)
Chorus2
But now Im building sandcastles in the sand (sandcastles in the sand)
Thought I could fly when I held your hand (I was wrong)
Eternity turns to black and white
It was the greatest week and a half of my life
Bridge
( )
Its crazy no one gets me
( )
Castles wash away
Come back please
Ive changed my mind
( )
Lets go all the way (I love you, lets do it)
I miss you
Chorus3
[[repeat only the first five chorus chords until the end]]
Sandcastles in the sand (oh, I miss your hair)
Thought I could fly when I held your hand (I thought you were the one)
Sandcastles wash away (I love you, lets do it)
And all thats left is some sand the next day
Sandcastles may be cute (Im on the pill now)
But now all they do is remind me of you
(Lets go all the way)
(You said itd be okay)
(Im sorry)
Sandcastles wash away
