Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Once I built a castle in the [Em]air,
[G]A home for you a[D]nd I-
In a blue, blue sky.
We'd leave behind
the weight of worldly [Em]care,
[G]I thought we could f[D]ly

[Verse 2]
We only had to try.
[G]Ah, I had to learn [Em]fast,
(For your [G]own good)
I had to learn [D]fast
[G]And when I knew at [Em]last[G]
(You understood)
I knew at [A]last

[Verse 3]
[D]Hell and heaven can be one and the [Em]same,
[G]If you don't kno[D]w how
You should know by now,
Every pleasure always holds
an [Em]equal amount of pain
[G]But it all works out[D],

[Interlude 1]
I have no doubt.
[D]

[Verse 4]
[G]Ah, we had to learn [Em]fast,
(For our [G]own good)
We had to barn [D]fast.[C]
[G]And when we knew at [Em]last
[G](When we understood)
We knew at last
[A][G]

[Verse 5]
[D]Every kite has got to have [Em]a string for it to fly
[G]Up to who knows whe[D]re ?[G]
Castles in [D]the air.
So there are strings attached
to [Em]you and I
[G]Though they hold [D]us tight

[Outro 1]
We can take flight.
