[Ab]
[Am] [A]
[D] I really want her [Cm] hand to touch her knees
I really want it [F] to share forgotten dreams
Go through the [C] motions of loving from [Cm] afar
And feel as [G] if I'm reaching for the [C] stars
But each drop of hopelessness [Gm] amounts
To what could be a [Fm] raging sea
It could be [G] springtime, [Cm] I'd meet her at [D] the gates
[Ab] It wouldn't see me ever come to [C] those who wait
[C] [Fm] Castles in the air
If [Eb] only they were there
[Gm] Just [Ab] like a beatnik lover fair
[G] Those castles in [Cm] the air
So [G] let me look into [C] the windows of your soul
Let me make the most [F] of what I'll never know
We'll eat forbidden [Cm] fruits and sing our favourite songs
[Fm] And never [G] tell each other we're wrong
Each drop of [C] tenderness you'd give
Would be another reason [F] why I'd want to live
Would be another chance to [C] sit beneath the stars
[Fm] And whisper to [G] each other in [C] the dark
[Fm] Castles in the air
If [Eb] only they were there
With your [Ab] soul free and unaware
[G]
Watching castles [Cm] in the air

Why [Em] should a lonely person care?
What [Am] can a lonely person share?
A broken heart [Em] is much too hard to renovate
Cos [C] beauty never comes to [E] those who wait
[E]
[Am] And romance is a word
That should [G] be seen but never heard
I [C] don't even know [C] your name
[B]
[Am] But castles in the air
[G] We were almost there
[C] We [C] almost shared
[B]
[Am] Castles in the air
[G] If only they were there
Just [C] like a beatnik love [B] affair
