D Bm F#m G A
 
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


              G   Em
We live in boxes
              D             
We live in boxes

Concrete boxes

We live in boxes
              D             
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   x2 
G Em D
