      D
Well take a look at that
          G             C
I made a castle in the sand
         D
Saying this is where it's you know
 G              C
Couldn't understand now
   D                     G            C
If I realised that the chances were slim
     D                              G           C G  G7
How come I'm so surprised when the tide rolled in

Chorus:
A            Bm  G
I'm going to live on solid rock
A            Bm  G
I'm going to live on solid rock
A         Bm            G
I want to give I don't want to be blocked
A
I'm going to live on solid rock

Well, I'm sick of potential
I'm sick of vanity now
I'm sticking to essential reality now
I don't know what's worse
Try to make a silk purse
Living an illusion in confusion

Chorus

 A           Em
Well a house of cards
     A           Em
Was never built for shock
            A          Em              A
You could blow it down in any kind of weather
               Em   A          Em
Now two solid rocks two solid blocks
G                          G7
You know they're going to stick
G                              A
Yeah they're going to stick together

Yeah, because the heart that you break
That's the one that you rely on
The bed that you make
That's the one you got to lie on
When you point your finger 'cause your plan fell through
You got three more fingers pointing back at you, yeah

Chorus

Rock, solid rock, rock, rock, solid rock
I wanna give, I don't wanna be blocked
I'm gonna live on solid, solid, solid, solid rock
Rock, rock, rock, rock, solid rock
Solid rock!
