Verse 1:
Em              Bm    C
She lives in a fairy tale
G
Somewhere too far for us to find
Em              Bm        C
Forgotten the taste and smell
G
Of the world that she's left behind
Em              Bm       C        G      G#
It's all about the exposure the lens I told her
Em              Bm        C
The angles were all wrong now
G
She's ripping wings off of butterflies

Pre Chorus:
Dsus2                     Em7 C9
keep your feet on the ground
Dsus2                     Em7 C9
when your head's in the clouds


Chorus:
G
Well go get your shovel
Gsus2
And we'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle, bury the castle

Verse 2:
E            Bm           C            
So one day he found her crying
G
Coiled up on the dirty ground
E            Bm           C
Her prince finally came to save her
G
And the rest you can figure out
E            Bm           C
But it was a trick
G                  G#
And the clock struck 12
E                                    Bm           C
Well make sure to build your house brick by boring brick
G
or the wolves gonna blow it down

Bridge:
G
If it's not real
                           Bm
You can't hold it in your hand
                            C4
You can't feel it with your heart
    D
And I won't believe it
G
But if it's true
                            Bm
You can see it with your eyes 
                    C4 
Or even in the dark
                  D
And that's where I want to be, yeah

To bury the castle; bury the castle
