I'm just skimming stones against the lake

While my dreams pass me by

'Cause I've nev-er known what to make of life
C#m B
But I guess I'm willing to try
A E
Sometimes it's better and sometimes it's worse
A B
And sometimes it heals and sometimes it hurts....
E A E A
So hail to the morn-ing wher-ev-er it dawns down on me
C#m A
It's now that I get to thinking
F#m B6 B E
Some castles lie way be-neath the sea.

You always said that it would be... such a long summer

And now its here and I can break the earth on this cold water

I'll find my castle lies way beneath the sea
