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?

The biggest trick
F#m G A
The biggest trick they play on you

To make you think
F#m G A
The show won't go on without you

We go in boxes

Wooden boxes

Now the room has been emptied

I'm alone in my bed

The heart is a box

Which the soul has fled

The spell has been broken

And the last word is said
