The Suitcase Song

Capo on 2 A I Bm B suitcase. D E A I am locked tight with all these things A I could not replace D E If I were lost, and I A I roll around airports. D E I talk with seats until A It’s time to leave the concourse; D E A A A You, hanging on to me. A D E Remember when I -- fell down the stairs A A When you were rushing down that long flight D E Of concrete squares? A You brushed my dirt off D E And checked to see if you had A A Hurt me more than you thought D E A A A But ho--ow hurt could I be? E And I’ll carry on D A ‘Cause I don’t know how else to be. D A I will stay here with you ‘til D E E You’ve had your fill of me. E When you’re gone, D A I know you won’t be gone too long. D A I am yours and you are mine D E E E Because you know that I am strong. A I keep your secrets. D E A The one who knows about your life D E And all you regret when you’re alone. A Your kids don’t like me. D E They see me on your bed and A They try to hide me. D E A A A They think you love me best. A E But I’ll carry on, D A ‘Cause I don’t know how else to be. D A I will stay here with you ‘til D E E E You’ve had your fill of me. E When you’re gone, D A I know you won’t be gone too long. D A I am yours and you are mine D E E E Because you know that I am strong. E I’ll carry on, D A ‘Cause I don’t know how else to be. D A I will stay here with you ‘til D E E E You’ve had your fill of me. E When you’re gone, D A I know you won’t be gone too long. D A I am yours and you are mine D D D D Because you know that E I’ll carry on, E D A Cause I don’t know what else to do. D A I will be here for you now D E E E Because I know I’m home for you. E The day will come D and you’ll decide A D A You need a change, but until I’m on the shelf D E E E We will be one in the same. A One in the same. A A D E .....A A D E ....
