(light strum)
G
Spend your whole life chasing dreams

Went from sidelines to major leagues
Em D/F
And now they say “you finally made it

You must be happy”

I should be happy”

So maybe it’s time to go home
Cadd9
Pack it up and leave em a note

Saying I don’t wanna do this alone

So go pack those yellow boxes

When everything is out of control

And you feel like you have traded your soul

For gold

Pack those yellow boxes and make your way home

Pack em up, pack em up

Pack em up, pack em up

Pack em up, pack em up
You can always

So you can spend your whole life
How it’s supposed to be

And love right unconditionally
