[Chorus]
Take me home
Take me home
And the streetlights light, light up
To take me home

I love you, Chicago
You make me feel so summer fling
You know that I know that I owe you everything
I love you, Chicago

[Verse 1]
Feel the sorrow, hit the bottle
Feel the rush of having no tomorrow, yeah
She said, "You gotta find yourself
Something worth holding onto" (onto)
Onto (onto)

[Pre-Chorus]
You charged me up
Charged, charged me up
I was something they forgot to label "fragile"
Now I'm stuck

And you know too much
Know, know too much
You're the one true thing
You're the one

[Chorus]
Take me home
Take me home
And the streetlights light, light up
To take me home

I love you, Chicago
You make me feel so summer fling
You know that I know (I know)
That I owe you everything
I love you, Chicago

[Verse 2]
And I'm just living out a suitcase
Watch me now, watch me as I drive away
I'm supposed to leave you at the end of the season
But I'll stay (I'll stay)
I'll stay (I'll stay)

[Pre-Chorus]
You charged me up
Charged, charged me up
I was something they forgot to label "fragile"
Now I'm stuck

And you know too much
Know, know too much
You're the one true thing
You're the one

[Chorus]
Take me home
Take me home
And the streetlights light, light up
To take me home

I love you, Chicago
You make me feel so summer fling (Feel so summer)
You know that I know (I know)
That I owe you everything (Everything)

[Outro]
Take me home
Take me home
And the streetlights light, light up
To take me home

I love you, Chicago
You make me feel so summer fling (Feel so summer)
You know that I know (I know)
That I owe you everything
I love you, Chicago

Fall Out Boy is an American rock band hailing from Wilmette, Illinois. The band was formed in 2001 by Pete Wentz, who supplies bass and lyrics to the band, and guitarist Joe Trohman, who both used to be part of metalcore band Arma Angelus. Trohman later recruited vocalist Patrick Stump, who initially tried out as the band’s drummer, after meeting him in a bookstore. After the release of Project Rocket/Fall Out Boy, a split EP with Project Rocket. It was recorded without current drummer Andy Hurley due to him being disinterested in the project; Hurley later joined in 2003 as a replacement touring drummer.

Fueled By Ramen, who were a small independent label at the time, personally called Fall Out Boy to ask them to record a full-length record after hearing one of their demos online. This album became their 2003 debut, Take This To Your Grave, and was a tipping point between the band’s underground success to success in the mainstream. It was the band’s last album to feature Stump as the lead lyricist.

The band’s 2004 acoustic EP, My Heart Will Always Be the B-Side to My Tongue, became their first charting release and gave fans a taste of what to expect on their sophomore album From Under The Cork Tree. The album creation was set back in February 2005 after Wentz’s suicide attempt, which influenced songs such as “7 Minutes In Heaven (Atavan Halen).” The album was released in May 2005 through Island Records, featuring guest vocals from William Beckett of The Academy Is… and Brendon Urie of Panic! At The Disco.
