Castles In The Sand Ukulele Chords

This is my first chord writing. Pretty close to the recording.
The D-X mark is meaning that the X stops the strings (hitting the strings once) for a 
beat before going back into the G. It's kind of a quick 3 strum on the G & D. (G G G D D D X)

NO CAPO!

F G - X x3
(da da da da da etc)

F               G                   Am
Built a perfect house in a perfect town
F                 G                    Am
Dreamt a perfect dream and it all fell down
F                     G
We held on tight like hungry lovers
Am                           G
Watched the day break from beneath the covers
F               G                  Am
Had to know for sure what it's all about

F   G              F
Oh, this should be easy
F   G                  F
Oh, just tell me we're happy
G                            F
Just building castles in the sand

F G - X x3
(da da na na, da da na na)


I saw the naked light and it burned my eyes
Couldn't look away, no matter how I tried
I watched you explode when you think it's over
Burst in colour like a super nova
Had to track you down, had to find you out

Oh, this should be easy
Oh, just tell me we're happy

Just building castles in the sand
F G - X x3
Just building castles in the sand

F                 Am            F
The tides roll in and waves get closer
F            F               G
And knock us over and we get stronger every time
                            F
We build our castles in the sand
F               G                  Am
Built a perfect house in a perfect town
F                G                     Am
Dreamt a perfect dream and it all fell down
F   G                  F    G
Oh, just tell me we're happy

Just building castles in the sand
G D - X x3 (Till Fade out)
Just building castles in the sand
Just building castles in the sand
Just building castles in the sand
