[Verse 1] D

^DLet's build a boat So we can sleep right where we sai^Gl You see a fish, I see a whal^Eme Underneath this painted indig^Ao

Oh, where should we go next?

^DLet's build a boat So we can say we saw the ocea^Gn From our bedroom's cotton curtain^Ems While I was looking out the windo^Aw

Oh, I know that you wanna build it too

^Em[Chorus] ^EmDon't pretend that you're not looking ^G For something more than growing u^Dp Right now I should be writing flashcard^As

But I'm stuck on pastel skies and apple eyes that say too much

^EmSo won't you come and ride the waves, boy ^G We can go anywhere we please^D And then instead of revising^A

We could sail to the horizon

And

float out inside the sea D

[Verse 2]

^DLet's build a castle So we can rule it as we choos^Ge And I'll spend days just simply talking to you ^Em And I won't worry if I don't know how to factorise ^A

I'll blow the time off dandelions

^DLet's build a tree house So we can hide up there foreve^Gr We'll make a nest right out of feathers ^Em And I will never have to choos^Ae

Oh, you know that you wanna build it too

^D[Chorus] ^EmDon't pretend that you're not clueless ^G

At what the hell you're gonna do

Right now I should be drawing mind maps^D But I'm stuck on fairy letters ^AThat make me think of you ^EmSo won't you come and climb to me, boy Coz we don't have to live like them ^G Instead of memorizing verb^Ds

We could sail right round the world

^AAnd make it back again^D D G Em A (x2) [Bridge] ^DLet's build a boat that's made for two ^GOh, I know you want it just as much as me You're j^Emust afraid to give it all, in case you lose B^Dut I'm not scared of falling ^GOh no, I'm scared of being boring ^EmWhat if we never even try?

What if we never find out why?

Wh^Aat if we grow up without really growing down?

[Verse 3]

^DSo please, please my darling Just don't settle for what they want you to be ^G

Coz you are extra ordinary already

And I know there's so much more inside your reach ^Em A^Dnd I can't prove it's worth it Coz it's not safe and I don't know where we'll end up ^G

But hell, it's better than just waiting and taking

The path they build for u^Ems

[Outro]

Coz I don't think I could bear it ^D If when we're old and faded peach ^G We can't tell each other sto^Emries of when we tried and flied And made the jumps nobody thought we'd reach ^A

Coz life is made for living

So baby, oh, who knows what we'll be ^D Oh, but youth is meant for taking and for breaking And for building up the beautiful we'll be ^G
