Castle

Am7          G#dim     C    
I built this castle, now we are 
     F#dim           F
trapped on the throne
                   E
I'm sorry, we’re alone
Am7           G#dim
I wrote my chapter
C                F#dim          F
You'll turn the page when I'm gone
                    E
I hope you’ll sing along
This is your song
Am7     E
I just want you to know that I ain't
 scared
G7                               
Whatever it takes to raise you, 
F#dim
I'm prepared
          F             E
To do whatever, to do whatever

This is your song

[Verse 1: Eminem]
           Am7                 
You'll be coming out of mommy's 
           E
stomach soon
                       G           
I better do something quick if I'ma
             F#dim
 be able to support you
         F
I can barely support me, but as long
 as you're healthy
                 E
That's all that matters for the time
 being
                             Am7   
But obviously, assuming you will 
                  E
be, just thinking ahead
                    Cmaj7
I’ma make it if it kills me
                         Dm
Let’s see how far I can take it with
 this music
     E
I'm getting sick of chasing this 
illusion
Sorry for sloppy writing
The pen in my hand’s shaking, please
 excuse me
          Am7                      
Dad's a little nervous, but at the 
G#dim
same time excited
      G7                           
If I use this same energy while I'm
  F#dim
 saying rhymes and write 'em
           F
With the same passion and the same 
exact enthusiasm
         Em
As I’m using in this letter maybe 
they can feel me as I'm
Am7                               
Trying to build these castles out 
    G#dim
of sand, baby girl
     G7                            
For you to sit on the throne, I got
  F#dim
 plans, baby girl
F
Welcome to mom and dad's crazy world
Love, daddy
Em
Maple flavored kisses, buttered 
pancakes, and syrup

[Chorus]

I'm sorry, we're alone

You'll turn the page when I'm gone

[Verse 2: Eminem]
              Am7                 
You got your momma's personality, 
G#dim
same eyes as I got
G7                             
Her beautiful smile, but your 
F#dim                     F
ears are the same size as mine are
                          G
Sorry for that, a little minor 
mishap
E
But you'll grow into 'em baby
             Am7
I'm on the grind now
                              Em   
I'm doing little shows, open mics, 
                     C
all-nighters and studios
                           Dm
While I'm tryna keep the lights on
Why does it seem like I'm so close 
to this dream, yet so far?
             Am
I just keep steering
I'm gonna turn into someone
                  Am7            
I haven't the slightest clue what 
           G#dim
I'm gonna do if it falls through
     G7                         
You took your first steps today, 
          F#dim
you'll probably walk soon
       F
My Infinite CD flopped, too many 
soft tunes
          Em
They're talking bad about dad, it's 
ticking me off too
 Am7                               
Makes me feel like I don't belong 
      Em
or something, ooh
   G7
I think I might have just stumbled 
onto something new
          F
Got a prediction for the future, I'm
 hoping it's you
            Em
Open this envelope when you're older
 and it holds true

[Chorus]
   Am7         Em     C      
I built this castle, now we are 
     Dm            F
trapped on the throne
                  E
I'm sorry, we're alone
Am           G#dim
I wrote my chapter
C               F#dim         F
You'll turn the page when I'm gone
                     Em
I hope you'll sing along
This is your song
Am7                            
I just want you to know that I ain't
G#dim
 scared
   C
Whatever it takes to raise you, I'm 
prepared
         F               Em
To do whatever, to do whatever

[Verse 3: Eminem]
                        Am7      
Now if you found these letters, I 
                G#dim
guess I better try to explain
          G7                    
A lot's happened in between 'em, 
          F#dim
since I rised to this fame
                F
I've said your name but always tried
 to hide your face
      G             Em
This game is crazy, I wanted to 
claim my love for you but damn
         Am7
I never knew it'd be like this
     Em
If I did I wouldn't have done it
            C
You ain't asked for none of this 
shit
       Dm
Now you're being punished?
             Em
Things that should've been private 
with me and your mother is public
I can't stomach, they can take this 
fame back, I don't want it
         Am7                     
I'll put out this last album then 
      G#dim
I'm done with it
             G
One-hundred percent finished
                      F#dim
Fed up with it, I'm hanging it up, 
fuck it
F
Excuse the cursing, baby, but just 
know
            Em
That I'm a good person, though they 
portray me as cold
                Am                 
And, if things should worsen, don't
             Em               
 take this letter I wrote as a 
  G
goodbye note
'Cause your dad's at the end of his 
rope
             F
I'm sliding down a slippery slope
Em
Anyways sweetie, I better go, I'm 
getting sleepy
Love dad
Shit, I don't know
