"Chicago" lyrics

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
And 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

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
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
