Hope this is right! I'm not too sure about that last chord in the verse, so be
sure to lemme know if you find any mistakes :) Thanks.
Tuning: Capo on 3rd Fret:
(Chorus)
G Bm Em
Everything I ever said, everything that I have done
C G
Try'na show 'em it's my time, building mansions in my mind
Bm Em
Now that's all so yesterday, I'm just lighting up my fire
C Cm
Tell the world I'm say'n goodbye, you ask me why...
G Bm Em C
I'm building castles in the sky
G
I'm building castles in the sky

(Verse 1)
G - Bm - Em - Em/C (Cmaj7)
I used to ride around town in a whatcha-call-it
Lookin' like a dimmer rapper, feeling like a dusty wallet
Getting fired, then hired, then refired
The idiot's guide to "how to build an empire"
I'll show ya how to stunt, show ya how to pop
Got a watch for my wrist and a watch for my pops
Ballin' from the baseline, bottom to the top
Got bullets on speed dial, yeah, I call shots
Now you can't act like ya never heard o' me
Cuz I'm so third-degree, everday I'm burnin' leaves
I'm in my castle and I'm never comin' down
They always said I had my head in the clouds. Ha!
(Chorus)
(Verse 2)
I use'ta fantasize about the badest girl I couldn't get with
Couldn't get her number couldn't even get her digit
Then I saw the light, now my nights are quite explicit
I'll be lost inside the ganja with a swollen message
Got bills paid, got the whole hood sayin' "damn, Bobby Ray, came a mighty long way"
No GPS on starring revelation
I'm a self made nigger, shout out to my operation
It started in my mind then it started takin' shape
I still cannot believe these events are takin' place
Uh, I'm in my castle and I'm never coming down
It's no wonder my heads in the clouds, ha!
(Chorus)
(Bridge, 2X)
Building castles the size of collesiums
Thirty thousand feet up, I swear you gotta see 'em
Cruising altitude with a foolish attitude
Headed for the moon maybe Mars, maybe Venus
(Chorus)
(Outro)
Building castles the size of collesiums
Thirty thousand feet up, I swear you gotta see 'em
Cruising altitude with a foolish attitude
Headed for the moon maybe Mars, maybe Venus
