Verse
Eminem]
C#m7 G#
You'll be coming out of mommy's stomach soon
B F#dim
I better do something quick if I'ma be able to support you
A
I can barely support me, but as long as you're healthy
G#
That's all that matters for the time being
C#m7 G#
But obviously, assuming you will be, just thinking ahead
Emaj7
I’ma make it if it kills me
F#m
Let’s see how far I can take it with this music
G#
I'm getting sick of chasing this illusion
Sorry for sloppy writing
The pen in my hand’s shaking, please excuse me
C#m7 G#dim
Dad's a little nervous, but at the same time excited
B7 F#dim
If I use this same energy while I'm saying rhymes and write 'em
A
With the same passion and the same exact enthusiasm
G#m
As I’m using in this letter maybe they can feel me as I'm
C#m7 G#dim
Trying to build these castles out of sand, baby girl
B7 F#dim
For you to sit on the throne, I got plans, baby girl
A
Welcome to mom and dad's crazy world
Love, daddy
G#m
Maple flavored kisses, buttered pancakes, and syrup
[Chorus]
C#m7 G#m E F#m A
I built this castle, now we are trapped on the throne
G#
I'm sorry, we're alone
C#m G#dim
I wrote my chapter
C F#dim F
You'll turn the page when I'm gone
G#m
I hope you'll sing along
This is your song
C#m7 G#dim
I just want you to know that I ain't scared
E
Whatever it takes to raise you, I'm prepared
A G#m
To do whatever, to do whatever
December 1st, 1996, dear Hailie
[Verse 2: Eminem]
C#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
B
Sorry for that, a little minor mishap
G#
But you'll grow into 'em baby
C#m7
I'm on the grind now
G#m E
I'm doing little shows, open mics, all-nighters and studios
F#m
While I'm tryna keep the lights on
Why does it seem like I'm so close to this dream, yet so far?
C#m
I just keep steering
I'm gonna turn into someone
C#m7 G#dim
I haven't the slightest clue what I'm gonna do if it falls through
B7 F#dim
You took your first steps today, you'll probably walk soon
A
My Infinite ED flopped, too many soft tunes
G#m
They're talking bad about dad, it's ticking me off too
C#m7 G#m
Makes me feel like I don't belong or something, ooh
B7
I think I might have just stumbled onto something new
A
Got a prediction for the future, I'm hoping it's you
G#m
Open this envelope when you're older and it holds true
[Chorus]
C#m7 G#m E F#m A
I built this castle, now we are trapped on the throne
G#
I'm sorry, we're alone
C#m G#dim
I wrote my chapter
C F#dim F
You'll turn the page when I'm gone
G#m
I hope you'll sing along
This is your song
C#m7 G#dim
I just want you to know that I ain't scared
E
Whatever it takes to raise you, I'm prepared
A G#m
To do whatever, to do whatever
December 1st, 1996, dear Hailie
[Verse 3: Eminem]
C#m7 G#dim
Now if you found these letters, I guess I better try to explain
B7 F#dim
C# lot's happened in between 'em, since I rised to this fame
A
I've said your name but always tried to hide your face
B G#m
This game is crazy, I wanted to claim my love for you but damn
C#m7
I never knew it'd be like this
G#m
If I did I wouldn't have done it
E
You ain't asked for none of this shit
F#m
Now you're being punished?
G#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
C#m7 G#dim
I'll put out this last album then I'm done with it
B
One-hundred percent finished
F#dim
Fed up with it, I'm hanging it up, fuck it
A
Excuse the cursing, baby, but just know
G#m
That I'm a good person, though they portray me as cold
C#m G#m B
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
A
I'm sliding down a slippery slope
G#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
