[Verse 1]
A F#m
How Do I know when to let things go?
D A E/G# A
What Do I take or leave in this place?…
F#m
How Do I fit my childhood dreams?
D A E/G#
My biggest plans in my Honda CR-V
[Chorus]
D F#m
Ooh, I’m packin’ up boxes
A
I knew this day was comin’
E/G#
But it takes me by surprise
D F#m
Ooh, will it all be forgotten
A
When I pull out of this driveway
E/G#
Leave this whole world behind?
D E
How Do I fit all of these memories
A
In these boxes?
[Verse 2]
A F#m D
How Do I take the kitchen walls, the upstairs hall
A E/G# A
The creek in the second stair?…
F#m
How Do I pack the windows and the sky
D A E/G#
The comfort that I felt on my pillow every night?
[Chorus]
D F#m
Ooh, I’m packin’ up boxes
A
I knew this day was comin’
E/G#
But it takes me by surprise

When I pull out of this driveway

Leave this whole world behind?

How Do I fit all of these memories

In these boxes?

A F#m D E
……………
[Bridge]
D
Will anyone miss the big oak tree
F#m
In the backyard with the tire rope swin’?
A
Will anyone miss the front porch light
E
The lilac bushes on a summer’s night?
D
Will anyone notice the bright red roses
F#m
Dug up and packed up in cardboard boxes
A E
And somehow fit in my studio apartment?
[Outro]
D E
How Do I fit all of these memories?
D E
Tell me, how Do I fit all of these memories
A
In these boxes?
