  			Dm      Em     Am 
Gonna build myself a castle 
Dm      Em     Am 
High up in the clouds. 
            Dm      Em       Am 
There'll be skies outside my window; 
F      Em     Dm        E 
Lose these streets and crowds. 
E      D    C   B  Am  D Am D 
Dance the night away. 
 
     Dm      Em     Am 
Will find myself an ocean, 
Dm      Em     Am 
Sail into the blue, 
Dm        Em     Am 
Live with golden swordfish, 
F      Em   Dm      E 
Forget the time of you. 
E      D    C   B  Am  D Am D 
Dance the night away. 
 
Dm      Em      Am 
Dance myself to nothing. 
Dm      Em       Am 
Vanish from this place. 
       Dm    Em      Am 
Gonna turn myself to shadow 
F      Em   Dm      E 
So I can't see your face. 
E      D    C   B  Am  D Am D 
Dance the night away.
