Em  G
Once I built a castle in the air,
                   D
A home for you and I
D
In a blue, blue sky.
                                        Em   G
We'd leave behind the weight of worldly cares,
                   D
I thought we could fly
D
We only had to try.

[Bridge 1]
G                  Em                    G
Ah, I had to learn fast, (For your own good)
G               D
I had to learn fast
G                   Em               G
And when I knew at last (You understood)
G          Asus4  A
I knew at last

[Verse 2]
D                                   Em  G
Hell and heaven can be one and the same,
                  D
If you don't know how
D
You should know by now,
                               Em             G
Every pleasure always holds an equal share of pain
                 D
But it all works out,
D
I have no doubt.

G                   Em                     G
Ah, we had to learn fast, (For our own good)
G                D    C G
We had to learn fast
G                   Em                 G
And when we knew at last (It was understood)
G          A   G
We knew at last

[Verse 3]
D                            Em               G
Every kite has got to have a string for it to fly
                D
Up to who knows where? Castles in the air.
D                                    Em     G
So there are strings attached to you and I
                    D
Though they hold us tight
D
We can take flight - we can take flight
