released apr 27 , 2012

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
