Verse
Eminem]
G#m7 D#
You'll be coming out of mommy's stomach soon
F# F#dim
I better do something quick if I'ma be able to support you
E
I can barely support me, but as long as you're healthy
D#
That's all that matters for the time being
G#m7 D#
But obviously, assuming you will be, just thinking ahead
Bmaj7
I’ma make it if it kills me
C#m
Let’s see how far I can take it with this music
D#
I'm getting sick of chasing this illusion
Sorry for sloppy writing
The pen in my hand’s shaking, please excuse me
G#m7 G#dim
Dad's a little nervous, but at the same time excited
F#7 F#dim
If I use this same energy while I'm saying rhymes and write 'em
E
With the same passion and the same exact enthusiasm
D#m
As I’m using in this letter maybe they can feel me as I'm
G#m7 G#dim
Trying to build these castles out of sand, baby girl
F#7 F#dim
For you to sit on the throne, I got plans, baby girl
E
Welcome to mom and dad's crazy world
Love, daddy
D#m
Maple flavored kisses, buttered pancakes, and syrup
[Chorus]
G#m7 D#m B C#m E
I built this castle, now we are trapped on the throne
D#
I'm sorry, we're alone
G#m G#dim
I wrote my chapter
C F#dim F
You'll turn the page when I'm gone
D#m
I hope you'll sing along
This is your song
G#m7 G#dim
I just want you to know that I ain't scared
B
Whatever it takes to raise you, I'm prepared
E D#m
To do whatever, to do whatever
December 1st, 1996, dear Hailie
[Verse 2: Eminem]
G#m7 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
F#
Sorry for that, a little minor mishap
D#
But you'll grow into 'em baby
G#m7
I'm on the grind now
D#m B
I'm doing little shows, open mics, all-nighters and studios
C#m
While I'm tryna keep the lights on
Why does it seem like I'm so close to this dream, yet so far?
G#m
I just keep steering
I'm gonna turn into someone
G#m7 G#dim
I haven't the slightest clue what I'm gonna do if it falls through
F#7 F#dim
You took your first steps today, you'll probably walk soon
E
My Infinite BD flopped, too many soft tunes
D#m
They're talking bad about dad, it's ticking me off too
G#m7 D#m
Makes me feel like I don't belong or something, ooh
F#7
I think I might have just stumbled onto something new
E
Got a prediction for the future, I'm hoping it's you
D#m
Open this envelope when you're older and it holds true
[Chorus]
G#m7 D#m B C#m E
I built this castle, now we are trapped on the throne
D#
I'm sorry, we're alone
G#m G#dim
I wrote my chapter
C F#dim F
You'll turn the page when I'm gone
D#m
I hope you'll sing along
This is your song
G#m7 G#dim
I just want you to know that I ain't scared
B
Whatever it takes to raise you, I'm prepared
E D#m
To do whatever, to do whatever
December 1st, 1996, dear Hailie
[Verse 3: Eminem]
G#m7 G#dim
Now if you found these letters, I guess I better try to explain
F#7 F#dim
G# lot's happened in between 'em, since I rised to this fame
E
I've said your name but always tried to hide your face
F# D#m
This game is crazy, I wanted to claim my love for you but damn
G#m7
I never knew it'd be like this
D#m
If I did I wouldn't have done it
B
You ain't asked for none of this shit
C#m
Now you're being punished?
D#m
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
G#m7 G#dim
I'll put out this last album then I'm done with it
F#
One-hundred percent finished
F#dim
Fed up with it, I'm hanging it up, fuck it
E
Excuse the cursing, baby, but just know
D#m
That I'm a good person, though they portray me as cold
G#m D#m F#
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
E
I'm sliding down a slippery slope
D#m
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
