Intro
verse 1
B E A E/G#
I have all my things away
F#m G#m C#m
In here, with me
B E A E/G#
I can get them when I need
F#m G#m C#m
But not today
B E A E/G#
What's the use in trying to stay
F#m G#m C#m
Inside the seams
B E A E/G#
Where you stitched your hopes and dreams
F#m A
Back in the day
Pre-Chorus
B G# A
There are some who will always let you down
B G# A
There are people who will chain your feet to the ground
B G# A E/G# F#m
White picket castles were built to fall down, to fall down
F#m
Chorus
E A B
This old sunken vessel is where I sleep
E A B
It's not worth a nickel but it pays my keep
E A B C#m B F#m
Where's your white picket castle but where you seat yourself now?
C#m

verse 2
B E A E/G#
Walk until my knees get weak
F#m G#m C#m
My eyes, they stare
B E A E/G#
Sunken, tangled in my hair
F#m G#m C#m
They comb the street
B E A E/G#
Spare a piece of something deep
F#m G#m C#m
For me to share
B E A E/G#
If it's something I can wear
F#m A
It's yours to keep
Pre-Chorus
B G# A
There are some who will always let you down
B G# A
There are people who will chain your feet to the ground
B G# A E/G# F#m
White picket castles were built to fall down, to fall down
F#m
Chorus
E A B
This old sunken vessel is where I sleep
E A B
It's not worth a nickel but it pays my keep
E A B C#m B F#m
Where's your white picket castle but where you seat yourself now?
A B
Oh yeah yeah yeah
E A B
This old sunken vessel is where I sleep
E A B
It's not worth a nickel but it pays my keep
E A B C#m B F#m
Where's your white picket castle but where you seat yourself now?
