G5
I am a suitcase.
C5           D5                    G5
I am locked tight with all these things

G5
I could not replace
C5            D5       
If I were lost, and I
G5
I roll around airports.
C5            D5             
I talk with seats until
     G5 
It?s time to leave the concourse;
C5             D5    G5    G5   G5
You, hanging on to me.


G5                  C5           D5  
Remember when I -- fell down the stairs
              G5                 G5
When you were rushing down that long flight
C5           D5  
Of concrete squares?
G5
You brushed my dirt off
C5               D5
And checked to see if you had
G5                 G5                
Hurt me more than you thought
   C5       D5            G5       G5      G5
But ho--ow hurt could I be?


               D5
And I?ll carry on
               C5                G5
?Cause I don?t know how else to be.
        C5             G5 
I will stay here with you ?til
       C5                D5       D5
You?ve had your fill of me.
D5
When you?re gone,
           C5                 G5
I know you won?t be gone too long.
     C5                 G5 
I am yours and you are mine
            C5              D5        D5          D5
Because you know that I am strong.


G5
I keep your secrets.
C5           D5                G5 
The one who knows about your life
                   C5           D5 
And all you regret when you?re alone.
G5
Your kids don?t like me.
C5           D5  
They see me on your bed and
G5
They try to hide me.
C5              D5       G5      G5       G5
They think you love me best.


G5              D5 
But I?ll carry on,
               C5                G5
?Cause I don?t know how else to be.
        C5             G5
I will stay here with you ?til
       C5                D5     D5      D5
You?ve had your fill of me.

            D5
When you?re gone,
           C5                 G5  
I know you won?t be gone too long.
     C5                G5
I am yours and you are mine
            C5              D5        D5    D5
Because you know that I am strong.
            D5
I?ll carry on,
               C5                G5
?Cause I don?t know how else to be.
       C5              G5  
I will stay here with you ?til

       C5                D5     D5     D5
You?ve had your fill of me.


            D5 
When you?re gone,
           C5                 G5
I know you won?t be gone too long.
     C5                 G5 
I am yours and you are mine
C5                C5         C5  C5
Because you know that
           D5
I?ll carry on,
D5             C5                 G5 
Cause I don?t know what else to do.
       C5               G5
I will be here for you now
          C5                 D5     D5     D5
Because I know I?m home for you.


D5                            
The day will come 
           C5
and you?ll decide
           G5           C5                G5  
You need a change, but until I?m on the shelf
        C5             D5      D5      D5
We will be one in the same.
           G5
One in the same.
