Verse 1:
D
In an old shoebox underneath my bed
G                                                D
All the love we had back then this is all that's left
                          G
Every letter every note I memorized just like a song
               D
Every word you wrote
A
Makes time stand still just like a broken clock
G                                                            D
Photographs, old movie stubs four years of us, in an old shoebox


Chorus:
      G                          D
And I don't know, why I keep it around
        G
When it took me so long to get this far
                     Bm                A
But I don't have the heart to throw it out


Verse 2:
      D
In an old shoebox underneath my bed
      G
Those earrings don't shine quite as bright
                              D
As they did on that Christmas night
D
I put that chain around my neck
   G                                            D
It don't fit right feels like a lie so I put it back
    A
The smell of dried red roses hits me like a rock
       G
It was our first time when we made love
                               D
Four years of us in an old shoebox


Chorus:
      G                          D
And I don't know, why I keep it around
        G
When it took me so long to get this far

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

Solo:

Verse 3:
            D
I took that old shoebox from beneath my bed
  G                                      D
I closed it up, taped it shut and took a breath
D
I put it in my car and drove
       G
Turned down your drive turned and off the lights
                 D
So, you wouldn't know
  A                                  G
I left what's left of us on your doorstep
    A                       G
And said goodbye to what we had


Outro:
      D
In an old shoebox underneath my bed
G
All the love we had back then
                   D
This is all that’s left
