[Verse 1]
G                               Em
Oh, you can take a whole lot of sand.
            C             D
And build a castle on the beach.
               G               Em
And though you mold it and you plan.
              C               D
Still you got nothing in your reach.
 
[Chorus]
           C           C7
One little slip and it tumbles down.
          G
One wrong step and it crumbles all around.
       C7                  C                    D7    D
Like a house without love, that's sure to fall apart.
  G        D#             D7         G C   G
A house of sand, is an empty work of a-art.
 
[Verse 2]
G                            Em
Oh, you can build a tower of clay.
           C         D7
But if you ask, my advice.
           G            Em
Well it's  worthless, I say.
            C                   D
It's got no heart, it's cold as ice.
 
[Chorus]
D          C           C7
One little slip and it tumbles down.
          G
One wrong step and it crumbles all around.
       C7                 C                    D7    D
Like a house wthout love, that's sure to fall apart.
  G        D#             D7         G C   G
A house of sand, is an empty work of a-art.

One wrong step and it crumbles all around.
       C7                  C                    D7    D
Like a house without love, that's sure to fall apart.
N.C.       D#             D7         G C   G
A house of sand, is an empty work of a-art.

A house of sand is an empty work of a-art...
