Verse 1:
                 
   She lives in a fairy tale
                          
Somewhere too far for us to find
                     
   Forgotten the taste and smell

Of the world that she's left behind
                
   It's all about the exposure
          
the lens I told her
                      
   The angles were all wrong now
      
She's ripping wings off of butterflies


Refrain 1:
                             
  With her feet on the ground
                            
  And her head in the clouds


Chorus:
     
Well go get your shovel
    
And we'll dig a deep hole
   
To bury the castle

bury the castle
(Repeat)


Interlude:
F#m--A/C#-D-A--E-D- x2
Ba da ba da ba


Verse 2:
                    
   So one day he found her crying
                     
Coiled up on the dirty ground
                       
   Her prince finally came to save her

  And the rest you can figure out
            
  But it was a trick
                   
And the clock struck 12
             
Well make sure   to build your
                 
house brick by boring brick
or the wolves gonna blow it down


Refrain 2:
                             
  With her feet on the ground
                            
  And her head in the clouds


(Repeat Chorus)


Interlude: Bm--D--A--E--


Bridge:

  Well you built up a world of magic

  Because your real life is tragic

  Yeah you built up
             
a world of magic


Verse 3:
        
If it's not real
                           
You can't see it with your hand
                            
You can't feel it with your heart
    
And I won't believe it
         
Cause if it's true
                         
You can see it with your eyes
            
Even in the dark
           (hold)
And that's where I want to be yeah


(Repeat Chorus)


(hold)
