Shoeboxes Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Ten years down the road
I'll be cleanin' [Bm]out my [D]closet,
getting rid of old [Asus4]clothes[A]
[D]I reach behind my
[G]winter coat[D]
And I stumble [Bm]upon[D]
shoeboxes filled with old [Asus4]ghosts[A]

[Verse 2]
Why did [G]I hang [D]onto your [Asus4]pictures
Why [G]did I [D]hang onto that [Asus4]dress[A]
Cuz it kills me [Bm]to see you,
but it [D]kill[G]s me not [D]to
[G]It kills me to remem[Bm]ber and it kil[A]ls
me [D]to forget
[G][D][Bm][G][D][A]

[Verse 3]
[D]So I suppose you'll be in every
[G]song I [D]sing
If not [Bm]written in my w[G]ords,
you'll [D]be hidden in [A]these strings
[D]Cuz how could I ever for[G]get my first [D]love
My first woman, [Bm]first [G]truth,
[D]first child [A]from above

[Verse 4]
[A]But why do I [G]hang on[D]to
[A]your pictures
Why have [G]I not just thrown
[D]out [A]that dress
Cuz it kills me [Bm]to see you,
but it [G]kills me not to
It kills me to remember[Bm], oh
and it kill[A]s me [D]to forget
[G]It

[Verse 5]
[D]kil[Bm]ls me[G] t[D]o se[A]e[Bm]
you... but it kills [G]me not to
[D]It kills [G]me to [Bm]remember...[A]
and it kills me to for[G]get[Bm][A]
