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

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
