Lifehouse – Fairy Tales And Castles (Guitar)

 E      F#m                   
He says he looks in the mirror

Cm#             A           
And he can't tell anymore

E   F#m             C#m                  A 
Who he really is and who they believed him to be

 E          F#m                      
And he says he walks a thin line

Cm#              A                
Between what is and what could be

 E                 F#m    
and he's getting closer

 C#m                 A              
to something he can't understand

B5                    E
Cause there's a crack in his plastic crown

B5                    E
and his throne of ice is melting

B5
He climbed his ladder 

E
There was nothing there

A5
Now it's a long way down

      E            F#m        C#m
Cause on and on and on he goes

        A     E
Dancing on the grave

        F#m                  C#m     A
of what he thought was still alive (Hey)

    E         F#m           C#m
and on and on and on he goes

         A          E
Dancing in mansions made of twigs

    F#m             A
and castles made of sand

E       F#m                        
He says his head is filled up with

C#m             A
Cartoons and fairy tales

E                         F#m                
and he's trapped inside a dungeon of dolls

C#m            A
With smiles on their faces

E          F#m        
He's built a pretty cage

C#m            A
His show's on a beautiful stage

E                 F#m
With candy coated prison bars

C#m                       A
and chains that look like jewelry

B5                    E
Cause there's a crack in his plastic crown

B5                    E
and his throne of ice is melting

B5
He climbed his ladder 

E
There was nothing there

A5
Now it's a long way down

      E            F#m        C#m

        A     E
Dancing on the grave

        F#m                  C#m     A

and on and on and on he goes

         A          E
Dancing in mansions made of twigs

    F#m             A
and castles made of sand

C#m                   A
Cause he lives inside

         E                  F#m
of fairy tales and castles now

C#m                       A
and there's no room inside

               E           F#m         A5   A      
for false expectations and illusions

B5                    E
There's a crack in his plastic crown

B5                    E
and his throne of ice is melting

B5
He climbed his ladder 

E
There was nothing there

A5
Now it's a long way down

A
It's along way down

      E            F#m        C#m
Cause on and on and on he goes

        A     E
