D          A                Bm
My new address is hard to remember
      Bm
So I wrote it on the back of my hand
 D                  A                   Bm
'Cause I leave the nest, this coming December
    Bm
To make it as a grown man
D            A              Bm
I'm bout to lose my only defenders
     Bm
I'm packing up whatever I can

D             A
Been waiting for today but
Bm
All I can think to say is

Chorus:
G       D/F#               Em
Oh no, don't throw out my Legos
  D              G
What if I can't let go
 D/F#           Em         D
What if I come back home, back home
G       D/F#               Em
Oh no, don't throw out my Legos
  D              G
What if I can't let go
 D/F#           Em         D
What if I come back home, back home

        Bm               A
Can we keep my Legos at home
          G
'Cause I wanna move out, I don't wanna move on

People want shirts with the band name on it
And suddenly, we ain't so bad
Saved up enough to rent an apartment
Far away from mom and dad
My Christmas card looks like a mugshot
'Cause suddenly I’m getting sad

Been waiting for today, but
All I can think to say is

Chorus

        Bm               A
Can we keep my Legos at home
          G
'Cause I wanna move out, I don't wanna move on
        Em               D
Can we keep my Legos at home
          A7                      Bm
'Cause I wanna move out, I don't wanna move on

      Em                      D
It's cold out there, you're standing there
        A7                   Bm
You're trying to face your greatest fear
         Em                D
You're shivering, you're trembling
      A7              D
It's warm in here so come back in

Chorus:
Oh no, don't throw out my Legos
What if I can't let go?
What if I come back home, back home?
Oh no, don't throw out my Legos
What if I can't let go?
What if I come back home, back home?
Oh no, don't throw out my Legos
What if I can't let go?
What if I come back home, back home?
Oh no, I'll come by when I'm grown
It won't be the same though
I can't even go home, go home
[Outro: Jack Met]
Can we keep my Legos at home?
'Cause I wanna move out
I don't wanna move on
