Brick by Boring Brick (Acoustic)

[Verse 1]

She lives in a fairy tale

Somewhere too far for us to find

Forgotten the taste and smell

Of a 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

[Pre-Chorus]

Keep your feet on the ground

When your head's in the clouds

[Chorus]

Well, go get your shovel

And we'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle

Bury the castle

Go get your shovel

And we'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle

Bury the castle

[Post-Chorus]

Ba-da-ba, ba-da-ba-ba-da

[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 twelve, oh, make sure

To build your home brick by boring brick

Or the wolf's gonna blow it down

[Pre-Chorus]

Keep your feet on the ground

When your head's in the clouds, oh

[Chorus]

Well, go get your shovel

And we'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle

Bury the castle

Go get your shovel

And we'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle

Bury the castle

[Post-Chorus]

Woah

Woah, woah

[Bridge]

Well, you built up a world of magic

Because your real life is tragic

Yeah, you built up a world of magic

If it's not real, you can't hold it in your hands

You can't feel it with your heart

And I won't believe it

But if it's true, you can see it with your eyes

Oh, even in the dark

And that's where I want to be, yeah

[Chorus]

Go get your shovel (You'll be better off without me now)

And we'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle (Ooh)

Bury the castle

Go get your shovel (You'll be better off without me now)

And we'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle (Ooh)

Bury the castle
