Baggage - Graham Parker

Em am em

Come and pick up your baggage it’s cluttering up my head

Em c am d There always seems to be a catch to everything you’ve ever said

Em am em

There always seems to be a lock a belt or a buckle or a key

Em c am d The world is filling up with stuff i can’t even see

Bridge #1

Bm c bm

It’s like a mountain of debris that doesn’t do anything

F#m g f#m

It just gets deeper than the sea and piles up to the sky ooo ooo

G a It stops you being where you should be, somewhere else

Come and pick up your baggage.

put it on another plane

It complicates the simple things steps on the brakes again and again

Shift it lug it move it on together with your point of view

It’s getting hard to separate your baggage from you

Bridge #2

Bm c bm

It’s like a virus or a germ that grows and divides and multiplies

F#m g f#m

Then eats your insides like a worm and piles up to the sky ooo ooo

G a It makes you old and infirm before your time

Come and pick up your baggage

Bridge #1 (1st half)

Come and pick up your baggage it’s weighing down my heart

You never seem to understand the horse is not the cart

Shift it lug it move it on together with your point of view

It’s getting hard to separate your baggage from you

Pick it up /pre>
