[Verse 2]
E G#m I'd never run a hundred miles A E But I felt the wind in my hair A E E/C# I hadn't built a house in a tree F# B Just a castle in the air E G#m I'd never been to the seaside A E But I put my ear to a shell A E E/C# I hadn't done all sorts of things F# B E But my dreams did just as well
