[Intro]
B7  F#m7  B7  F#m7  B7
[Verse 1]
I've taken to building sandcastles in places
Where E7I know damn C7well 
That the G7tide will roll A7in
And desB7pite that I know that the dusk is anon 
I can't E7help but D7building sandF#m7castles aB7gain
F#m7  B7
[Verse 2]
The buildup is good but demolition is messy
I've E7been here beC7fore and I G7know better A7too
And B7much as I know I should stay 
On the high ground
I'd E7much rather D7build a sandF#m7castle for B7two
F#m7  B
[Bridge]
In the heat, in the heat, A7I surE7render 
In the B7heat, in the heat, I  E7burnA7  
In the B7heat, in the heat,  A7I am aE7dored 
And in the B7heat, in the heat, I have  E7worthA7  
In the B7heat, in the heat, A7I am E7solid 
And in the B7heat, in the heat, I have  E7groundA7  
In the B7heat, in the heat, A7I am toE7gether 
And in the B7heat, in the heat 
I have Am7found myself 
But come the C7tide, come the F7tide, I Em7crumble

So B7please be the master of this castle 
I've built you 
And E7climb all the C7walls 
And G7try to get A7in
'Cause the B7sun is now cold 
And the waves are upon me 
And E7grain by D7grain
    N.C. 
I'm drifting again
