[Intro]
N.C.
Out on the curb again
N.C.
On the curb again
N.C.
I’ve come to learn it’s hard and 
firm
N.C.
Out on the curb again
N.C.
Out on the curb again
N.C.
On the curb again
N.C.
I’ve come to learn it’s hard and 
firm
N.C.
Out on the curb again


[Chorus]
                      Csus4
I’m in my room making cardboard 
castles
     C
With shoestring rope
Csus4
Soup spoon drawbridge
C
Tinfoil moat
Am                 G6             
I’m still dreaming after all these
 F   C
 years
                      Csus4
I’m in my room making cardboard 
castles
     C
With shoestring rope
Csus4
Soup spoon drawbridge
C
Tinfoil moat
Am                 G6             
I’m still dreaming after all these
 F   C
 years


[Verse 1]
           Csus4                
Because if we don’t build it who 
       C
will?
                 Csus4             
I do things on a shoestring that 
           C
you couldn’t do for a cool mil
Am                   G6
  I run with no laces,    and when I
 fall, I start
F                            C
  To build my Taj Mahal with shit I 
found at Dollarmart
Csus4
  This life’s our greatest project
C
  The journey’s all an art
Csus4                         C
  But I built my perfect nest,  and 
it’s ‘bout to fall apart
Am                    G6
  Again and again and then I just I 
make it twice as high
F                           C
  And I give my tower teeth,  and I 
watch it bite the sky
Csus4                         C
  Because I might just cry if I 
don’t keep it moving
  Csus4                        C
I focus on what I can make and not 
what just got ruined

       Am               G6        
‘Cause every stone will crumble 
      F                 C
down to dust, to dust, to dust
Csus4                         C
  And I say love thy neighbor,  and 
I say fuck thy hater
Csus4                             
  There’s nothing I can’t solve 
   C
with duct tape and construction 
paper
Am                             G6
  I don’t want a Band-Aid, I’ll  
              F                C
  only rip it off, I’ll rip it off


[Bridge]
           Csus4   C
Out on the curb again
       Csus4   C
On the curb again
     Am                 G6
I’ve come to learn it’s hard and 
firm
    F              C
Out on the curb again
(I’m in my room making cardboard 
castles)
           Csus4   C
Out on the curb again
(With shoestring rope)
       Csus4   C
On the curb again
(Soup spoon drawbridge, tinfoil 
moat)
     Am                 G6
I’ve come to learn it’s hard and 
firm
(I’m still dreaming after all these)
    F              C
Out on the curb again
(years)


[Verse 2]
Csus4                      C
  I know someday I’ll pass,  and 
maybe then rest
Csus4
  I’m laying on my back;
C
  Heaven’s my bench press
Am                      G6
  ‘Cause my imagination is crazy as 
Glenn Beck
F                           C
  A cloud is floating by in the 
shape of a rent check
Csus4                C
  And when the world ends, that’s 
what I’ll plan towards
Csus4                   C
  Then I’ll trust girlfriends and 
maybe landlords
Am                          
  Cause I been played but I’m 
  G6
looking for more
      F                         C
I say,  "What would I gain if I took
 it to court?"
          Csus4                 
‘Cause if    people were perfect 
            C
then there wouldn’t be war
        Csus4                      
We stay    pushing but once we get 
  C
a foot in the door
           Am                     
We get our toes chopped off and a 
G6
foot of manure
        F
I still   gotta believe people
    C
Are good at the core
             Csus4
‘Cause if we weren’t, what’s at 
stake?
          C                        
Why would we stay to break what we 
Csus4
make
                     C
And create all these beautiful 
mistakes
          Am                  G6  
When they blow our house down 
              F                    
let’s draw on the walls, the walls,
 C
 the walls


[Chorus]
                      Csus4
I’m in my room making cardboard 
castles
     C
With shoestring rope
Csus4
Soup spoon drawbridge
C
Tinfoil moat
Am                 G6             
I’m still dreaming after all these

 years

I’m in my room making cardboard 
castles
     C

Csus4

C
Tinfoil moat
Am                 G6             
I’m still dreaming after all these

Out on the curb again
