[Intro]
Eb   Ab
[Verse 1]
EbI    Abheld on so Eblong
AbTo what I've Ebwanted
AbYou to EbbecomeAb  
[Verse 2]
EbI see that Abyou are Ebnot
AbWhat I dreamed you to Ebbe
That's Abnot your Ebfault
[Chorus]
See, long a-Abgo, I made up my mEbind
She would Abbe the love of my Eblife
Now I Absee ignorance is Cmbliss
See, I fell in Bblove with an idea in my Cmhead
That's Abnot who she EbisAb  
Eb Ab
[Verse 3]
See, EbI,   I Abtake a Ebthought
And I'll Ablet it Ebgrow 'til underneath it's Abweight I am EbcaughtAb  
When Eball I Absaw was a Ebglimpse of Abwho you might Ebbe
I Ablaid down these Ebbricks
[Chorus]
Building Abwalls, so lovely and Ebstrong
There's no Abway, no chance I am Ebwrong
Our castle Abstands, and I know just where she'll Cmfit
She'll be with Bbme here in my arms, I'm crazy in Cmlove
With Abwho I think she Ebis
Cm Bb Eb Ab

[Bridge]
   CmWhen I finally      Bbget to see you
   EbI latch onto the Abhope I see in you
   CmAnd I won't let go
   BbI'll say look there's a Ebchance what I hoped for might Abactually be so
   CmBut I cannot    Bbjustify this
   EbSmall suspicion that Abslowly is creeping in
   CmThat our castle    Bbwalls are shaking
   EbI fight the fact maybe AbI was mista-Bbken
[Verse 4]
And EbI    Abhate when I Ebknew
That Abnothing was Ebreal in all that I had be-Ablieved to be EbtrueAb  
And the Ebwalls came Abcrumbling Ebdown
And Aball I could Ebthink was where is all that Abwasted time Ebnow
[Chorus]
See, long a-Abgo, I made up my Ebmind
She would Abbe the love of my Eblife
Now I Absee I never really knew her one Cmbit
See, I fell in Bblove with an idea in my Cmhead
But that'Abs not who shEbe is
No, that's Abnot who she Ebis
That's Abnot who she Ebis
