[Intro]
G C G C
[Verse 1]
G C G C G Pack a change of clothes and a pillow for the road for when we drift off C G C G Put the sketches and the notes in a box labeled "burn with furniture" Am D G C G We will watch the fire burn the whole entire house we built down to ashes Am D From the mirror we'll admire how the flame quickly retires Am D we won't waste no long goodbyes on the smoke or foolish lies G C G that finally passed us
[Chorus]
Am D G I was taught to keep an open ended life and never trap myself in nothin
[Verse 2]
G C Let's find something new to talk about G C G I'm tired talkin' 'bout myself G C I spent my whole life talking to convince everyone G C G that I was something else Am And the part that kinda hurts D is I think it finally worked G C G and now I'm leaving Am I get the feeling things have changed D but the mystery to me Am is where and when along the way D G C G did anyone decide that they believed me
[Chorus]
Am D I was taught to keep an open-ended life G C G and never trap myself in nothin' Am D I was told to keep an open-ended life G to never trap yourself in nothin'

[Verse 3]
G C When we settle down in another nowhere town G C G let's tell our neighbors G We won't be here long C G C G and we'll be quiet but don't go asking any favors Am D G C G I can't stand the unexpected, uninvited visits from too many strangers Am My trust has dwindled down D G C G and I can leave just as abruptly as I came here.
[Chorus]
Am D I was taught to keep an open-ended life G C G and never trap myself in nothin' Am D I was told to keep an open-ended life G C G to never trap yourself in nothin' Am D I was taught to keep an open-ended life G and never trap myself in nothin'
