   [Intro]
A5    A5   A5   A5
   [Verse 1]
     D
Well take a look at that
         G             C
I made a castle in the sand
       D
Saying this is where it's you know
G             C
Couldn't understand now
D                      G            C
If I realised that the chances were slim
    D                              G           C    G  G7
How come I'm so surprised when the tide rolled in
   [Chorus]
A            Bm   G
I'm going to live on solid rock
A            Bm   G
I'm going to live on solid rock
A         Bm                G
I want to give I don't want to be blocked
A5
I'm going to live on solid rock
   [Verse 2]
         D
Well I'm sick of potential
    G           C
I'm sick of vanity now
    D                     G       C
I'm sticking to essential reality now
D
I don't know what's worse
G             C
Try to make a silk purse
D                  G         C    G   G7
Living an illusion living in confusion
   [Chorus]
A            Bm   G
I'm going to live on solid rock
A            Bm   G
I'm going to live on solid rock
A         Bm                G
I want to give I don't want to be blocked
A5
I'm going to live on solid rock
   [Bridge]
A            Em
Well a house of cards
    A           Em
Was never built for shock
          A            Em             A
You could blow it down in any kind of weather
                       Em    A     Em
Now you take two solid rocks two solid blocks
G                         G7
You know they're going to stick
G                             A
Yeah they're going to stick together
   [Instrumental]
A  Bm   G
A  Bm   G
A  Bm   G    A5
   [Verse 3]
A           D
Because the heart that you break
           G              C
That's the one that you rely on
    D
The bed that you make
           G              C
That's the one you got to lie on
D                                       G         C
When you point your finger because your plan fell through
        D                  G             C  G   G7
You got three more fingers pointing back at you
   [Chorus]
A            Bm   G
I'm going to live on solid rock
A            Bm   G
I'm going to live on solid rock
A         Bm           G
I want to give I don't want to be blocked
A5
I'm going to live on solid ...
[Outro]  
A     Bm    G
Rock, rock, solid rock,
A     Bm    G
Solid rock, solid rock,
A         Bm                G
I want to give I don't want to be blocked
A5
I'm going to live on solid ...
A     Bm    G
Rock, rock, solid rock,
A     Bm    G
Solid rock, solid rock,
A         Bm                G
I want to give I don't want to be blocked
A5
I'm going to live on solid ...
A     Bm    G
Rock, rock, solid rock,
A     Bm    G
Solid rock, solid rock,
A         Bm                G
I want to give I don't want to be blocked
A5
I'm going to live on solid ...
[Fade Out]
