Introduction: C7+    B7    Em7    Dm7    G7    C7+    B7    Em7    

C7+          B7                    Em7  
I see the crystal raindrops fall,
             Dm7     G7      C7+  
 and the beauty of it all
             B7                 Em7  
 Is when the sun comes shining through
C7+          B7                    Em7  
To make those rainbows in my mind,
                 Dm7     G7      C7+  
When I think of you sometime,
                  B7                          Em7  
And I want to spend some time with you.

            C7+      B7                  Em7     Ebm7     Dm7  
Just the two of us,     we can make it if we try,
G7          C7+             B7                 Em7  
Just the two of us,     just the two of us.
            C7+      B7                  Em7     Ebm7     Dm7  
Just the two of us,  building castles in the sky,
G7          C7+        B7             Em7  
Just the two of us,    you and I.

C7+          B7                    Em7  
We look for love, no time for tears,
              Dm7     G7      C7+  
wasted water' s all that is,
             B7                 Em7  
And it don' t make no flowers grow.
C7+          B7                    Em7  
Good things might come to those who wait,
                      Dm7     G7      C7+  
But not for those who wait too late
                 B7                     Em7  
We' ve got to go for all we know.

            C7+      B7                  Em7     Ebm7     Dm7  
Just the two of us,     we can make it if we try,
G7          C7+             B7                 Em7  
Just the two of us,     just the two of us.
            C7+      B7                  Em7     Ebm7     Dm7  
Just the two of us,  building castles in the sky,
G7          C7+         B7            Em7  
Just the two of us,    you and I.

C7+          B7                     Em7              Dm7     G7      C7+  
I hear the crystal raindrops fall on the window down the hall
             B7                 Em7  
And it becomes the morning dew.
C7+          B7                     Em7              Dm7     G7      C7+  
And Darling, when the morning comes And I see the morning sun,
                 B7                          Em7  
I want to be the one with you.

            C7+      B7                  Em7     Ebm7     Dm7  
Just the two of us,     we can make it if we try,

Just the two of us,  building big castles way on high,
G7          C7+             B7        Em7  
Just the two of us,    you and I.
