  			(D) I dreamed that we were (G) livin' in A (D) Castle In The Sky 
A (A7) world of make believe, a dream for you (D) and I 
For one time in my (G) lifetime, I was (D) sure about your love 
I (A7) held you in my Castle In The (D) Sky. 
 
Then (G) from another world a (D) stranger came one day 
I (G) begged you not to leave, but (D) you left any-(A7) way 
I (D) saw my castle (G) tumble back to (D) earth and there was I 
With (A7) mem'ries of My Castle In The (D) Sky. 
 
The trouble that we're havin', does it mean there's someone new 
Or am I just bothered by the thought of losing you 
Will someone come and take you, will I lose you by and by 
Like I lost you in my Castle In The Sky. 
 
If we should ever part, the world for me would end 
How could I tell my heart, I only lost a friend 
Be faithful, don't forsake me, never leave and say goodbye 
Like you left me in my Castle In The Sky.
