Intro:

F      Bb


Verse:
           F
There's a room in my mind

Where I don't ever go
          Bb
Except a couple times a year

To dig around for ghosts

      F
It's filled with cardboard boxes

Covered tight with tape
      Bbsus2
As if puttin' them aside
               Bb   F
Would make 'em go away

                    Bb
Don't know how they got there

But they ain't going nowhere


Chorus:
             F
Cleaning it out

Should be easy to do
               Bbsus2
Why am I hanging on to the things that I don't use?

Bb          Dm
Versions of me
               C
I don't wanna face
         Bbsus2
Gathering dust in the corners of my brain

                  F
Ain't ready to unpack it
                     Bbsus2
So I leave it in the attic


Verse:
          F
It ain't Phillips VCR

Or Christmas decorations
       Bb        Bbsus2
It's a no time to heal

Heart that keeps on breaking

        F
It's a shoebox full of faces

I don't talk to anymore
     Bbsus2
It's holdin' on the clothes too small

Lord knows what for


Chorus:
         Bb  F
Cleaning it out

Should be easy to do
               Bbsus2
Why am I hanging on to the things that I don't use?

         Bb Dm7
Versions of me
               C
I don't wanna face
         Bbsus2
Gathering dust in the corners of my brain

                  F
Ain't ready to unpack it
                     Bbsus2
So I leave it in the attic


Break:
     Dm7
They stay up there
        C
By the pull down stairs
         Bbsus2
But they follow me around

Bb    Dm7             C/E
Yeah, out of sight is out of mind
       Bbsus2
'Til it all comes crashing
       Bb
Dow-ow-own


Chorus:
             F
Cleaning it out

Should be easy to do
               Bbsus2                     Bb
Why am I hanging on to the things that I don't use?

            Dm7
Versions of me
              C/E
I don't wanna face
         Bbsus2                  Bb
Gathering dust in the corners of my brain

                  F
Ain't ready to unpack it
                     Bb
So I leave it in the attic


Bbsus2                    F
  No, I ain't ready to unpack it
                     Bb    Bb
So I leave it in the attic
