       Bm 
We can buy our lot. 
         C 
We can mark our spot. 
             D 
But we're travelers whether we like it or not. 
     G               C           D 
So please make my castle out of sand

I don't want fire that stays stable 
        Bm               C 
And the wick is lit, it burns a bit 
       D 
And then it goes out at the end of it

So please don't hang a bulb above my table.

All the same stuff

Verse 3
               G 
Don't want a promise 
        C            D 
That outlives the promiser 
        G                C                 D 
And my body will not last longer than a metal band 
            G                          C 
And this tender expanse that's called romance 
        D 
And like anything great it's riddled with chance 
       G                 C            D 
So, please don't put a diamond on my hand. 
      G                  C           D 
Ohh please don't put a diamond on my hand. 
D 
Hand,

I don't want colors that don't 
D 
Fade away. 
    G           C 
And pedals open to the sun 
      D 
And then they wilt when they're all done
