The Shoebox Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]I[G][Am][G][C][G][Em][D]
[C][G][Am][G][C][G]
[Em]stum[D]bled[G] on a bunch [C]of junk of mine[G]
In [C]a shoebox the other [G]night
In [C]between cleaning up
[G]piles of messes
That [Em]I've made of my [D]life
Ticket stub[C]s, love poems and [G]old letters
I dumped them [C]all out on [G]the bed
Found a [C]homemade birthday
[G]card from my mom
And [Em]this is [D]what it [G]said
Yeah, [Em]this is [D]what it [G]said

[Verse 2]
Don't for[C]get the little moments
They're the [G]ones that mean the most
When the [C]way home seems so far away
Take 'em [Em]out and hold them c[D]lose
And take a [C]picture with your [G]father
'Cause [C]one day he'll be [Em]gone
And don't for[C]get to fill an [G]old shoebox
Full [Em]of things to [D]look back [G]on
Full [Em]of things to [D]look back [G]on
[C][G][Em][D]

[Verse 3]
[G]
I opened [C]up my grandpa's
pock[G]et knife
And I was [C]back to his back [G]porch
It was [C]summertime, I was turn[G]ing nine
He said you [Em]want that knife, it's [D]yours
I re[C]member running off in [G]the yard
Carved my [C]name in every [G]tree
[C]I hav[G]en't hel[C]d it since he pas[G]sed away
Man it [Em]meant the [D]world to [G]me
Because he [Em]meant [D]the world to [G]me

[Verse 4]
Don't for[C]get the little moments
They're the [G]ones that mean the most
When the [C]way home seems so far away
Take 'em [Em]out and hold them c[D]lose
And take a [C]picture with your [G]father
'Cause [C]one day he'll be [Em]gone
And don't for[C]get to fill an [G]old shoebox
Full of [Em]things to [D]look back [G]on

[Verse 5]
Look back [C]on
A little window to the past
Look back [G]on
God knows life goes by so fast
If [Am]ever you should [G]ever doubt the
[C]blessings that you've [D]had
[G][D]

[Verse 6]
Don't for[C]get the little moments
They're the [G]ones that mean the most
[D]When the [C]way home seems so far away
Take 'em [Em]out and hold them c[D]lose
And take a [C]picture with your [G]father
'Cause [C]one day he'll be [Em]gone
And don't for[C]get to fill [G]an old shoebox
Full [Em]of things [D]to look back on
[G]

[Verse 7]
I stumbled [C]on a bunch of junk of [G]mine
In [C]a shoebox the other night

[Outro 1]
