[Verse 1]
[A]Left,
right, left was [G]the pace of my steps
As I [Am]wrestled [Asus4]with a riddle that
was [G]making my mind twitch
It [A]was spring in November
Air was [G]full of regret
I said [A]think [Asus4]baby, think bab[Am]y,
[G]how can I change [A]this?
[Asus4]Do

[Verse 2]
[G]do [A]do [Asus4]do...

[Verse 3]
[G]I passed a w[Am]oman on the church
steps by [G]the side of the street
She [Asus4]had coin s [Am]in her cu[Asus4]p,
[G]a child's hand on her cheek
I said [Asus4]think baby, thi[G]nk baby,
how can I change this?
Took [Asus4]the long way [Am]home [Asus4]then
[G]went to sleep restless

[Verse 4]
And I dreamt of [A]a castle
[F#m]rich and br[D]ight[G]
And [A]everyone in it [F#]was f[F#m]illed [D]with
[G]light
[A][Asus4][G][A][Asus4][A]

[Verse 5]
[G]
You'll [A]never know the answer
[G]if you stop trying
Like [A]bobby says, 'if you ain't busy
liv[G]ing your busy dying'
[A]Whoever tells you its pointless,
[G]well, they're lying
And [A]if that who is you,
then you should [G]change your [A]mind[F#][F#m][G][A][F#]
[G]
Start

[Verse 6]
Building [A]a castle,
[F#]don't sit and [G]cry
Because heartache [A]is a hassle and [F#]a
waste [G]of time

[Verse 7]
Bless [Bm]the genies and the meanies
And the everyone in between'ies
All the [A]comings and the goings
Of the fathers and the thieves
[Bm]All the freakers and the teachers
All the girls dying to please
All the [A]movers and the shakers
The ones with scratches on their [G]knees
[F#m][A]
