[Intro]
G                  CM7
..You're not sad again
Are you SplashGvng?
Em    D
       Yeah

[Verse 1]
G                   CM7
I got used to your hands
(You're not sad again)
                   Em
Too fast to make a plan
(Are you SplashGvng?)

Didn't think while jumping

This is my life and without
you it's nothing

I'm not scared of death

But I won't lose you yet
Em
I don't wanna see all these
cities and oceans
 D
Only see the world and its
                      G
beauty when I'm with you
Lungs hurt, breathing in toxins
CM7
Sun's gone, I don't feel nauseous
 Em                          D
What about the prayers we recite?
If there's no heart in
                   G
it then it don't count

[Pre-Chorus]
 G
Wait for me, don't leave me here
CM7
I won't last another year
 Em
Walking into the world I see
  D
Leaving our bags,
I'm all that you need

na, na-na, na, na

[Chorus]
 G
Take it in (Take it in)
           CM7
Saving up coins in a small soup tin
               Em
Finally broke free from the place
I've been (Place I've been)
                    D
Soon we'll have a garden,
                            G
a kitchen, a castle by the sea
CM7
A garden, a kitchen,
                Em
a castle by the sea
                D
Just like we dreamed of,
                G
we're finally there

[Interlude]
G
..You're hardworking and loving and
           CM7
kind and funny, um... um...
 Em                            D
Poopy-head, butt-head, smart-face
I love you

[Verse 2]
 G
Hold you up when water's rising
 CM7
It's not luck, it's perfect timing
Em
I've been blessed with
shining brighter
 D
We'll be safe in walls of fire
 G
Fall in love in our new home
CM7
Vows are written, make it known
 Em
Nothing feels like how you treat me
 D
Rather die than watch you leaving
Waking up to a brand new life
Three cute kids and a gorgeous wife

How to play A Castle By The Sea: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for A Castle By The Sea by Powfu on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

To play A Castle By The Sea by Powfu, think in G major (one sharp: F♯). It takes 4 chords: G, CM7, Em and D.

Listen for G – CM7 – Em – D (I – IVmaj7 – vi – V in G major), a pop progression that moves to the vi before resolving through V: the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – fah – lah – soh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Beginner-friendly: on guitar every chord is an open shape, which makes this a good song to learn early on.
