    A           Dsus2           A  Dsus2
For days I have tried to forget you

                       A   Dsus2
And not care where you are

                    A   Dsus2
No matter where you are

    A                Dsus2         A
But rainbows are not made from memories

Dsus2           A5    D5
I got to try to find

              A5    E
A way to ease my mind
[Chorus]
                    A     D/A A5 E5
You're like a sledgehammer

A                          D/A A5 E5
You keep hittin' on my mind

A                              D/A A5 E5
You're like a sledgehammer baby

A                           D/A A5 E5 A
You been hittin' from behind

For nights I have gone without sleeping

                   A5  Dsus2
I wonder where you are

                   A5  Dsus2
I wonder where you are

      A5            Dsus2       A5       Dsus2
But I must build my castle with daydreams

                    A5  D5
And watch 'em fade away

               A5   E
Watch 'em fade away
