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
                          G+G
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
                     B minorBm                A augmentedA
But I don't have the heart to throw it out

Verse 2:
      D MajorD
In an old shoebox underneath my bed
      G+G
Those earrings don't shine quite as bright
                              D MajorD
As they did on that Christmas night
D MajorD
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
    A augmentedA
The smell of dried red roses hits me like a rock
       G+G
It was our first time when we made love
                               D MajorD
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

                     B minorBm                A augmentedA
But I don't have the heart to throw it out, no


Solo:
| D MajorD | D MajorD | G+G | G+G |


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


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