Verse 1:
D MajorD
In an old shoebox underneath my bed
G+G D MajorD
All the love we had back then this is all that's left

Every letter every note I memorized just like a song
D MajorD
Every word you wrote
A augmentedA
Makes time stand still just like a broken clock
G+G D MajorD
Photographs, old movie stubs four years of us, in an old shoebox
Chorus:
G+G D MajorD
And I don't know, why I keep it around
G+G
When it took me so long to get this far

But I don't have the heart to throw it out
Verse 2:
D MajorD
In an old shoebox underneath my bed

Those earrings don't shine quite as bright
D MajorD
As they did on that Christmas night

I put that chain around my neck
G+G D MajorD
It don't fit right feels like a lie so I put it back

The smell of dried red roses hits me like a rock

It was our first time when we made love

Four years of us in an old shoebox

G+G D MajorD
And I don't know, why I keep it around

But I don't have the heart to throw it out, no

I took that old shoebox from beneath my bed

I closed it up, taped it shut and took a breath

I put it in my car and drove

Turned down your drive turned and off the lights
D MajorD
So, you wouldn't know

I left what's left of us on your doorstep
A augmentedA G+G
And said goodbye to what we had
