Verse 1:
          D
I built a castle
           Bm
Deep in my heart
                   A
But you knocked it down, down, down
          G
Left me in the dark
                A
So here's to an empty throne
            N.C.
My love, my queen

Chorus:
G     Bm7          A
  You dropped this crown
                   Bm/F#        G
The night you left my heart for his
    Bm7    A
You let me down
                  N.C.          G
When you let your hair down for him
   Bm7   A
Oh-oh-oh-oh
    Bm7    A
You let me down
     N.C.
When you let your hair down for him

Interlude:
G
  Hmm

Verse 2:
D
We were beautiful, but really I'm a fool
   Bm7
To never see the lies hidden in your eyes
                   A
Was it ever true? Oh

When you said you were all in
                           G
Was I the only one falling down?
                  A
So here's to your empty vows
            N.C.
My love, my queen

Chorus:
G     Bm7          A
  You dropped this crown
                   Bm/F#        G
The night you left my heart for his
    Bm7    A
You let me down
                  N.C.          G
When you let your hair down for him
   Bm7   A
Oh-oh-oh-oh
    Bm7    A
You let me down
     N.C.                       G
When you let your hair down for him

Outro:
              Bm7        A
You traded my love for a kiss
                             G
What a royal mess that we're in

You let me down
                  Bm/F#         G
When you let your hair down for him

(Ah)
