Lyrics
We all play pretend
Like itā²s something that is real
Like we want to get away
And 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
Cā²mon, over here, c'mon, hey
Whoa-oh
I'm going to Chicago
Somewhere I donā²t really know
See the sun rise on the east coast
See it set in San Francisco
Iā²ll get high in Colorado
With some folks I don't even know
Who knows where Iā²ll be tomorrow?
But I'm going to Chicago, yes
Well, now our friends all tell us how
They feel trapped with no control
They say one day, theyā²ll get out
And break their parents' mold
But itā²s been ten years now
And they're still married, living in
Some big fancy house
With some attorney and three kids, c'mon (cā²mon, hey)
Whoa-oh
Iā²m going to Chicago
Somewhere I don't really know
See the sun rise on the east coast
See it set in San Francisco
Iā²ll get high in Colorado
With some folks I don't even know
Who knows where Iā²ll be tomorrow?
I'm going to Chicago
This doesnā²t feel, this doesn't feel quite right
This strange I get feels like it was tied too tight
Hey, Orlando, c'mon, help me out
This doesnā²t feel, this doesnā²t feel quite right
This strange I get feels like it was tied too tight (alright)
Oh, this doesn't feel, this doesnā²t feel quite right
This strange I get feels like it was tied too tight
Oh, this doesn't feel, this doesnā²t feel quite right
This strange I get feels like it was tied too tight
I'm going to Chicago
Somewhere I donā²t 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 Iā²ll be tomorrow?
But Iā²m going to Chicago

Thank you
