Chicago

We all play pretend

Like it's something that is real

Like we want to get away

Learn how we can feel

Well different air

From what we already breathe

So we tell ourselves we'll go, go, go

But we never ever leave

Woah, oh

I'm going to Chicago

Somewhere I don't really know

See the sun rise on the East Coast

See it set in San Francisco

I'll get high in Colorado

With some folks I don't even know

Who knows where I'll be tomorrow

But I'm going to Chicago

Well now our friends all tell us how

They feel trapped with no control

They say one day they'll get out

And break their parents' mould

But it's been ten years now

They're still married living in

A big fancy house

With some attorney and three kids

Woah, oh

I'm going to Chicago

Somewhere I don't really know

See the sun rise on the East Coast

See it set in San Francisco

I'll get high in Colorado

With some folks I don't even know

Who knows where I'll be tomorrow

But I'm going to Chicago

This doesn't feel, this doesn't feel quite right

This strange I get feels like was tied too tight

This doesn't feel, this doesn't feel quite right

This strange I get feels like was tied too tight

(This doesn't feel, this doesn't feel quite right)

I'm going to Chicago

Somewhere I don't really know

(This strange I get feels like was tied too tight)

See the sun rise on the East Coast

See it set in San Francisco

(This doesn't feel, this doesn't feel quite right)

I'll get high in Colorado

With some folks I don't even know

(This strange I get feels like was tied too tight)

Who knows where I'll be tomorrow

But I'm going to Chicago

I'm going to Chicago

Somewhere I don't really know

See the sun rise on the East Coast

See it set in San Francisco

I'll get high in Colorado

With some folks I don't even know

Who knows where I'll be tomorrow

I'm going to Chicago
