Capo 2


Intro: Riff

Verse 1:
(light strum)
             G
Spend your whole life chasing dreams
          Cadd9
Went from sidelines to major leagues
    Em                            D/F
And now they say “you finally made it
            Cadd9
You must be happy”
        G
But on dark nights

When you’re counting sheep
        Cadd9
And the good times are fast asleep
     Em                          D/F
You think, “I’m ok just maintain it
             Cadd9
I should be happy”


Bridge:
           G* Cadd9* Em*
But when five years pass

The same things don’t make you laugh
        G* Cadd9* Em* D/F* Cadd9*
And now ten years go by alone


Chorus:
                           G
So maybe it’s time to go home
                          Cadd9
Pack it up and leave em a note
                              Em
Saying I don’t wanna do this alone
  D/F  Cadd9
So go pack those yellow boxes
                   G
And make your way home
                           Cadd9
When everything is out of control
                                        Em
And you feel like you have traded your soul
    D/F
For gold
Cadd9
Pack those yellow boxes and make your way home
G
Pack em up, pack em up

Yellow boxes
Cadd9
Pack em up, pack em up

Yellow boxes
Em
Pack em up, pack em up

You can always
D/F
Pack those yellow boxes


Verse 2:
                        G
So you can spend your whole life

How it’s supposed to be
    Cadd9                       Em
And love right unconditionally
                               D/F
And you can say I found a way
                    Cadd9
Cause I got my family


Bridge:

           G* Cadd9* Em*
Don't let five years pass

And waste time you'll never get back

          G* Cadd9* Em* D/F* Cadd9*
Don't let ten years go by alone


Chorus:
                           G
So maybe it’s time to go home
                          Cadd9
Pack it up and leave em a note
                              Em
Saying I don’t wanna do this alone
  D/F  Cadd9
So go pack those yellow boxes
                   G
And make your way home
                           Cadd9
When everything is out of control
                                        Em
And you feel like you have traded your soul
    D/F
For gold

Ohh Ahh

Ohh Ahh

You can always

Repeat Chorus:
G*                              Cadd9*
Home, pack it up and leave em a note
                                Em*
Saying “I don’t wanna be here alone,”
             D/F*                  Cadd9*
So can you pack those yellow boxes

                   G
And get yourself home
                           Cadd9
When everything is out of control
                                        Em
And you feel like you have traded your soul
    D/F
For gold

And make your way home
