CASTLES IN THE SAND - Thunder
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Kengus
>>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’ve been a moment
A second or a time
When I didn't look up or I missed some kind of sign
Turned the wrong direction
When she was just an inch away
Like a missed connection
And my future slipped away
PRE-CHORUS
There've been times when I feel like I'm
Conspired against by fate
It's almost bad enough to make me hate
CHORUS
I'm sick of building castles in the sand
(Em)
Just waiting for another fake to break my promised land
I've been looking for the real thing in a lonely one night stand
Like building castles in the sand
[1/2 of INTRO]
VERSE2/PRE-CHORUS
Cos it terrifies me, ending up alone
And it walks beside me, the ghost of chances gone
Did I have it did I let it go, or close the door too fast?
Is there an answer locked up in my past?...in my past
CHORUS2
I'm sick of building castles in the sand
(Em)
Seems like everybody else I know can hold it in their hands
So will it ever happen or am I doomed to walk this land
Just building castles in the sand?
[SOLO]

INTERLUDE
I've been crying, I've been living alone so long
I've been over and over the reasons
But I can't find the thing that's wrong
In my mind, all the evidence seems to say
I wouldn't even know it if she walked right in today
CHORUS2
I'm sick of building castles in the sand
(Em)
Seems like everybody else I know can hold it in their hands
So will it ever happen or am I doomed to walk this land
D/F# G Em Am... (repeat Am-F-C-G)
Just building castles in the sand?
