Verse 1
(G major) Pack a change of clothes
And a pil (C major) low for the road
for when we drift (G major) off to sleep
Put the sketches and the notes in a box (C major)
labeled "burn with furniture"
(G major) We will watch (A minor) the fire burn the whole en
tire (D major) house we built down to ashes (G major)
From the mir (A minor) ror we'll admire how
the flame (D major) quickly retires
We won't waste (A minor) no long goodbyes on
the smoke (D major) or foolish lies
That finally passed (G major) us
(A minor) (D major) (G major)
