[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?
C#m
