Verse
Eminem]
D#m7 A#
You'll be coming out of mommy's stomach soon
C# F#dim
I better do something quick if I'ma be able to support you
B
I can barely support me, but as long as you're healthy
A#
That's all that matters for the time being
D#m7 A#
But obviously, assuming you will be, just thinking ahead
F#maj7
I’ma make it if it kills me
G#m
Let’s see how far I can take it with this music
A#
I'm getting sick of chasing this illusion
Sorry for sloppy writing
The pen in my hand’s shaking, please excuse me
D#m7 G#dim
Dad's a little nervous, but at the same time excited
C#7 F#dim
If I use this same energy while I'm saying rhymes and write 'em
B
With the same passion and the same exact enthusiasm
A#m
As I’m using in this letter maybe they can feel me as I'm
D#m7 G#dim
Trying to build these castles out of sand, baby girl
C#7 F#dim
For you to sit on the throne, I got plans, baby girl
B
Welcome to mom and dad's crazy world
Love, daddy
A#m
Maple flavored kisses, buttered pancakes, and syrup
[Chorus]
D#m7 A#m F# G#m B
I built this castle, now we are trapped on the throne
A#
I'm sorry, we're alone
D#m G#dim
I wrote my chapter
C F#dim F
You'll turn the page when I'm gone
A#m
I hope you'll sing along
This is your song
D#m7 G#dim
I just want you to know that I ain't scared
F#
Whatever it takes to raise you, I'm prepared
B A#m
To do whatever, to do whatever
December 1st, 1996, dear Hailie
[Verse 2: Eminem]
D#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
C#
Sorry for that, a little minor mishap
A#
But you'll grow into 'em baby
D#m7
I'm on the grind now
A#m F#
I'm doing little shows, open mics, all-nighters and studios
G#m
While I'm tryna keep the lights on
Why does it seem like I'm so close to this dream, yet so far?
D#m
I just keep steering
I'm gonna turn into someone
D#m7 G#dim
I haven't the slightest clue what I'm gonna do if it falls through
C#7 F#dim
You took your first steps today, you'll probably walk soon
B
My Infinite F#D flopped, too many soft tunes
A#m
They're talking bad about dad, it's ticking me off too
D#m7 A#m
Makes me feel like I don't belong or something, ooh
C#7
I think I might have just stumbled onto something new
B
Got a prediction for the future, I'm hoping it's you
A#m
Open this envelope when you're older and it holds true
[Chorus]
D#m7 A#m F# G#m B
I built this castle, now we are trapped on the throne
A#
I'm sorry, we're alone
D#m G#dim
I wrote my chapter
C F#dim F
You'll turn the page when I'm gone
A#m
I hope you'll sing along
This is your song
D#m7 G#dim
I just want you to know that I ain't scared
F#
Whatever it takes to raise you, I'm prepared
B A#m
To do whatever, to do whatever
December 1st, 1996, dear Hailie
[Verse 3: Eminem]
D#m7 G#dim
Now if you found these letters, I guess I better try to explain
C#7 F#dim
D# lot's happened in between 'em, since I rised to this fame
B
I've said your name but always tried to hide your face
C# A#m
This game is crazy, I wanted to claim my love for you but damn
D#m7
I never knew it'd be like this
A#m
If I did I wouldn't have done it
F#
You ain't asked for none of this shit
G#m
Now you're being punished?
A#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
D#m7 G#dim
I'll put out this last album then I'm done with it
C#
One-hundred percent finished
F#dim
Fed up with it, I'm hanging it up, fuck it
B
Excuse the cursing, baby, but just know
A#m
That I'm a good person, though they portray me as cold
D#m A#m C#
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
B
I'm sliding down a slippery slope
A#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
