Castles chords by Ryan Oakes

Chorus:

C           G                    Am
Life in the fast lane, we play our cards
              G                    C
Praying we'll find out just who we are
                 G                 Am
We've built us a mansion from broken hearts
                  G                     C
And filled all the emptiness with broken parts
              G                   Am
King of this castle, I'll wear the crown
           G                         C
Hoping it lives on when I reach the ground
              G                   Am
The demons in my head all dance around
                G
I'm facing this bottle, and praying they drown

Verse 1:

                    C
Bitch I've been the king of this castle

I've built it from the gravel
     G
Been slaving every day with no shackles
                     Am
I'd figure that I'd tackle the working on the battles
           G
Associated with this life, I'm everything but fragile
                    C
I heard they wanna come for me
                                  G
Well, that's company, homie that's luxury

People wanna fuck with me,
   Am                               G
Luckily I got me a foundation and a location
                            C
Good for when it gets ugly, yeah, don't tell me to slow my role
      G
Homie give that shit a rest and put that shit on parole
            Am
I'd give my heart and my soul until I'm reaching the goal
          G
Of having everything I wanted, so I'm building 'em all
    C
I'm isolated alone, I'm working up till it's late
             G
See I've been battling with destiny and wrestling fate
            Am
They always try to get the best of me, they're testing my pace
          G
But I can run how much I want, but I'ma never escape
         C
And so I learned to embrace, all of the pain to be great
              G
And then you learn to erase all of the things in the way
                         Am
And then you learn to replace all of the things in the gape
                            G
That left you empty wanting more and then it’s finally straight
                       C
And now I’m finding the strength, to try and shepherd the cattle
                 G                                                           Am
Who's stuck in a capsule living life in their shackles, tryna get through the day
                                                       G
They tryna get through these battles and never let them into their castles, so


Chorus:

C           G                    Am
Life in the fast lane, we play our cards
              G                    C
Praying we'll find out just who we are
                 G                 Am
We've built us a mansion from broken hearts
                  G                     C
And filled all the emptiness with broken parts
              G                   Am
King of this castle, I'll wear the crown
           G                         C
Hoping it lives on when I reach the ground
              G                   Am
The demons in my head all dance around
                G
I'm facing this bottle, and praying they drown


Verse 2:

                C
I need everyone wake up, ya'll building your own funeral
G
Sitting inside a cubicle wishing your life is beautiful
    Am
It's inexcusable, if your happiness isn’t mutual
     G
With everything you're doing, your living is so unsuitable
    C
And all of its removable, people think they’re trapped
         G
And that history repeats itself cycle of the past
         Am
Yeah simplicity is sweet and safe right until you smash it
             G
And then the mysteries that could’ve been and everything will crash
         C
And then everything will burn, and the only thing that's left¨
       G
Is the person in the mirror tryna swallow their regret
    Am
Overthinking every night and realizing they’re depressed
          G
Tryna get through every day 'cause they’re a motherfucking wreck
           C
And I don’t mean no disrespect, but this shit is your life
          G
You wanna waste it in an office knowing you don’t get it twice
        Am
And you won’t second guess it from a second till it bites
           G
You in the ass upon your deathbed when you wish you did it right
C
Normal can’t suffice, everybody's got a destiny
      G
They settle in for less than they deserve it's in the recipe
Am
Passion equals profit perseverance is your weaponry
   G
To build you up a motherfucking legacy
             C
Everyone pretend to be happy through out all of these battles
        G
They're stuck in they capsules and they're bound to their shackles
    Am
See I’m here to tackle, flip the world the world on its axles
         G
And show 'em how to give up these castles, Oakes


Chorus:

C           G                    Am
Life in the fast lane, we play our cards
              G                    C
Praying we'll find out just who we are

We've built us a mansion from broken hearts
                  G                     C
And filled all the emptiness with broken parts
              G                   Am
King of this castle, I'll wear the crown
           G                         C
Hoping it lives on when I reach the ground
              G                   Am
The demons in my head all dance around
                G                       C
