Title: “Crumbling Castles”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[C] There you stand in your [G] crumbling castle,
[Am] Holding on to [Em] dreams that have passed you.
[F] Did you ever stop to [C] think,
[G] That you might be [C] sinking fast?
(Chorus)
[F] Crumbling castles and [C] fading dreams,
[G] It’s not as bad as it [Am] seems.
[Lift your head to the [F] sky,
[C] Hold your dreams [G] high.
(Verse 2)
[C] Lost in a sea of [G] forgotten memories,
[Am] Trying to find the [Em] keys to your dreams.
[F] You’re not alone in [C] this fight,
[G] Reach out, hold [C] tight.
(Chorus)
[F] Crumbling castles and [C] fading dreams,
[G] It’s not as bad as it [Am] seems.
[Lift your heart to the [F] sky,
[C] Hold your dreams [G] high.
