The Wonder Years — Everything I Own Fits in This Backpack
I woke up today
G
And put all my shit in boxes
EmF#mG
It's 8:00 AM, so I'm glad I wasn't out late
D
I woke up today
G
Guess it's good I hadn't finished
EmF#mG
Unpacking all of this in the first place
DDBADDEGD
Suburbs have abandoned me
G
I've had the same best friend since '93
EmF#m
I call, he's not answering, no
G
I can't get comfortable on my own street
D
I'm not fond of south Philly
G
Or how my neighbors love ICP
EmF#m
I guess it's better than Bancroft street
G
At least the fridge here works and the walls don't leak, at least
D
I'm starting to see
What's left for me
I'm starting to
DAmDEmG
We've moved on again so I packed my shit and left home
DBmA
It's alright to think I still belong to something
D
I don't
F#mG
Guess I can see why you'd think so
GADG
Nothing made me feel further away
Than "Left and Leaving" through a blown car stereo
EmF#G
Nothing made me feel closer to home
Than "Ready To Die" through my headphones
DG
So we reached the coast, but where do we sleep tonight?
Damned if I know
EmF#m
We'll try to stay at the airport
G
They can't send us home and we've got no place to go
Chorus
GA
Guess I can see why you'd think so
GAG
Don't say it's up to me.
A
Don't say it's up to me
Bm
Don't say it's up to me
A
Don't say
GA
So the creaks in the floor boards are calling out to me
BmA
I'm laying here again with my head on my backpack, wrapped in my hoodie
This is how it is when
Chorus
D
I stacked Lonelier Than God
G
Next to You Get So Alone Sometimes
EmF#mG
I know how this must look from the outside
D
It took almost 13 months
G
For me to be where I feel fine
EmF#mG
I'm not as sad as I'll let myself believe sometimes
