Verse
A E
A ship took off in the night left you on your own
A
Just a castaway far away from home
E
All the castles you build you build with sand
C#m
And now their slipping away through the cracks in your hands

I'll be honest with you
C#m B A
This won't be easy on you
Chorus
E
You can take off my friend it will not be in vain
A
Although there's clouds ahead and it's about to rain
C#m
If you can wait it out you'll see the sky is blue
A
And all the love you gave it will come back to you
