And The Tide Rushes In - The Moody Blues
by Ray Thomas

A
I've been searching for my dream
   G       D       A
A hundred times today
A
I build them up, you knock them down
       G        D       A
Like they were made of clay

G / D/F# / A / / /

A
Then the tide rushes in
     G         D        A
And washes my castles away
A
Then I'm really not so sure
       G           D            A
Which side of the bed I should lay
          G   D   A
I should laaaaayyyyy


You keep looking for someone
To tell your troubles to
I'll sit down and lend an ear
Yet I'll hear nothing new
Then the tide rushes in
And washes my castles away
Then I'm really not so sure
Which side of the bed I should lay
I should laaaaayyyy

Then the tide rushes in
And washes my castles away
Then I'm really not so sure
Which side of the bed I should lay
I should laaaayyyy

Blackbird sitting in a tree
Observing what's below
Acoe=rns falling to the ground
He'll stay and watch them grow
