Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 I suitcase.

I am locked tight with all these things

I could not replace

If I were lost, and I

I roll around airports.

I talk with seats until

 It’s time to leave the concourse;

You, hanging on to me.

Remember when I -- fell down the stairs

 When you were rushing down that long flight

Of concrete squares?

You brushed my dirt off

And checked to see if you had

Hurt me more than you thought

 But ho--ow hurt could I be?

 And I’ll carry on

 ‘Cause I don’t know how else to be.

 I will stay here with you ‘til

 You’ve had your fill of me.

When you’re gone,

 I know you won’t be gone too long.

 I am yours and you are mine

 Because you know that I am strong.

I keep your secrets.

The one who knows about your life

 And all you regret when you’re alone.

Your kids don’t like me.

They see me on your bed and

They try to hide me.

They think you love me best.

But I’ll carry on,

 ‘Cause I don’t know how else to be.

 I will stay here with you ‘til

 You’ve had your fill of me.

 When you’re gone,

 I know you won’t be gone too long.

 I am yours and you are mine

 Because you know that I am strong.

 I’ll carry on,

 ‘Cause I don’t know how else to be.

 I will stay here with you ‘til

 You’ve had your fill of me.

 When you’re gone,

 I know you won’t be gone too long.

 I am yours and you are mine

Because you know that

 I’ll carry on,

Cause I don’t know what else to do.

 I will be here for you now

 Because I know I’m home for you.

The day will come

 and you’ll decide

 You need a change, but until I’m on the shelf

 We will be one in the same.

 One in the same.
