Intro.

On the Am chords, the technique is to strum down quite slowly and then
hammer the 3 on the b string. Knowing the tune will help.

VERSE.

                Am           F     C                G
There must have been a moment    a second or a time

       Am            F        C                      G
When I didn't look up    or I missed some kind of sign

           Am              F                 C                  G
Turned the wrong direction       when she was just an inch away

       Am               F           C                  G
Like a missed connection     and my future slipped away

Bb                         F             Bb                     Am
There've been times when I feel like I'm conspired against by fate

Bb                  F                Dsus4         D
Its almost bad enough to make me hate

CHORUS:- Play distorted chords twice

Am                    F                C          G
I'm sick of building castles in the sand

Am                F              G                   D
Just waiting for another fake to break my promised land

F                         G               C      G/B       Am     G
I've been looking for the real thing in a lonely one night stand

D                                F     G        (Intro then verse)
Like building castles in the sand


SOLO.

Mainly stuff from the A pentatonic around about the 5-7th frets


After Solo bit. Play chords with a bit of Palm muting on and off.

          Dm                               Am
I've been crying I've been living alone so long

          Dm                               F
I've been over and over the reasons and I can't find

               G
a thing thats wrong

      Dm                                 Am    rest then one G/B
In my mind  all the evidence seems to say


C                               G                E7
I wouldn't even know it if she walked right in today
