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
