[Chorus]
Am7 G#dim C F#dim F I built this castle, now we are 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 F#dim Whatever it takes to raise you, I'm prepared F E To do whatever, to do whatever
December 1st, 1995, dear Hailie
This is your song
[Verse 1: Eminem]
Am7 E You'll be coming out of mommy's stomach soon G F#dim I better do something quick if I'ma 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 E But obviously, assuming you will 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 G#dim Dad's a little nervous, but at the same time excited G7 F#dim If I use this same energy while I'm 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 G#dim Trying to build these castles out of sand, baby girl G7 F#dim For you to sit on the throne, I got plans, baby girl F Welcome to mom and dad's crazy world
Love, daddy
Em
Maple flavored kisses, buttered pancakes, and syrup[Chorus]
Am7 Em C Dm F I built this castle, now we are 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 G#dim I just want you to know that I ain't scared C Whatever it takes to raise you, I'm prepared F Em To do whatever, to do whatever

[Verse 2: Eminem]
Am7 G#dim You got your momma's personality, same eyes as I got G7 F#dim F Her beautiful smile, but your 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 C I'm doing little shows, open mics, 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 steeringI'm gonna turn into someone
Am7 G#dim I haven't the slightest clue what I'm gonna do if it falls through G7 F#dim You took your first steps today, 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 Em Makes me feel like I don't belong 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 Dm F I built this castle, now we are 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 G#dim I just want you to know that I ain't scared C Whatever it takes to raise you, I'm prepared F Em To do whatever, to do whatever

[Verse 3: Eminem]
Am7 G#dim Now if you found these letters, I guess I better try to explain G7 F#dim A lot's happened in between 'em, 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 G#dim I'll put out this last album then 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 Em G And, if things should worsen, don't take this letter I wrote as a 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
[Outro]
Am G#dim G F#dim F Em
