D          Bm 
When everything 
F#m           G            A 
When everything was out of reach 
D           Bm 
The sky was up 
F#m                G             A 
The ground was right below our feet 

                G   Em 
We played in boxes 
                D 
We played in boxes 
          Bm 
Cardboard boxes

D          Bm 
We wasted time 
F#m        G               A 
We wasted time before we knew 
D                Bm 
Don't punch the clock 
F#m          G                A 
Or time will run away with you

We live in boxes

We live in boxes 
          Bm 
Concrete boxes 

             C 
And now your childhood is over 
         Am 
You're a man they have said 
    Em 
You silently shoulder 
        G 
All the plans they have made 
         C                   G 
You pack down your boxes and ask 
Who am I? 

D Bm F#m G A 

D           Bm 
The biggest trick 
F#m         G                     A 
The biggest trick they play on you 
D           Bm 
To make you think 
F#m            G                 A 
The show won't go on without you 

          G   Em 
We go in boxes 
          D 
We go in boxes 
         Bm 
Wooden boxes 
          G   Em 
We go in boxes 
          D 
We go in boxes 
         Bm 
Wooden boxes 

        C 
Now the room has been emptied 
    Am 
I'm alone in my bed 
    Em 
The heart is a box 
          G 
Which the soul has fled 
    C 
The spell has been broken 
        G 
And the last word is said 

D Bm F#m G A 
G Em D
