Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Bm][Em][F#m][G][Em][G]
[Em][G]

[Verse 1]
Why do [G]we
build this castle of [Em]sand[G]
When we know very well baby,
it will never stand
[Em][F#m][G]

[Verse 2]
I tried to cope,
I really [Bm]hoped [Em]that you woul[F#m]d see[G]
You were the only girl for me
[Em]baby[F#m][G]
I tried to mend but you condemned
[Em]a love [F#m]af fai[G]r

[Verse 3]
You destroyed it beyond repair
[Em]You [F#m]absorb[A] the t[Bm]alk[A][F#m]
of [G]a friend [Asus4]baby[Em][A]
She said project [Bm]the harder [F#m]stalk
[A]and[Asus4] never bend[Em][Bm]
And be free from [F#m]me[Asus4]
and the things I [Em]do[A]
Can't you see she's [F#m]trying
[Bm]to take [A]me from you[Asus4]

[Verse 4]
Why do we build this castle of sand
When [G]we [Em]know[F#m] very[G]
well baby, it will never stand
Why do we build this castle
[Em]of sand[G]
When we know very well baby,
it will never stand
[Em][F#m][G]

[Verse 5]
The mental strain in my brain
to [Em]great [F#m]a price to [G]pay
For the way you make me feel in bed,
[Em]baby[F#m][G]
And all our plans these grains of sand,
The [Em]waves have [A]washed [G]away,
the book that I misread
[Em][F#m][Bm]

[Verse 6]
[A]
[Bm]You don'[A]t equa[F#m]te sex[A]
[Asus4]with love[Em][A][Bm]
But isn't the love we [A]make
[Asus4]worthy of[Em][F#m][Bm]
More than [F#m]wishful thoughts [Asus4]and
plastic [Em]smiles[F#m][A]
And [Bm]ecstasy [A]that onl[F#m]y last[G] for[Bm]
[A]a whi[Asus4]le
[G][Em][F#m][G]

[Verse 7]
Why do we build this castle
[F#m]of sand[Em][G]
When we know very well baby,
it will never [Em]stand
[F#m]Why do[G] we build this castle of sand
[A]When we know ver[Em]y well
baby, it will never stand

[Verse 8]
Why do we [F#m]build this castle [G]of sand
When we know very well baby,
it will never stand
Why [Em]do we build this castle [F#m]of sand
When we [G]know very well baby,
it will never stand
