Other Peoples Things chords by The Shires

Intro:
Am F C G
Am F C G


Verse:
Am    F      C   G
Packing up all these boxes
Am    F      C   G
Blowing dust off memories
Am      F        C   G
Every little thing I seem to find
Am      G       F
Is one less look at you and me
Am     F      C   G
A few old CDs at the bottom
Am      F        C   G
I turn one over to find our song
Am        F        C       G
And there's a t-shirt that the band signed, that night
Am      G         F
I always wondered where it had gone

Chorus:
    C  Em F
If anyone else opened this box
          C   Em
They'd see for themselves
      F
It's just a pile of old junk
    Am    Em         Am   Em F
But to me, everything in there is a secret memory
   Am        C       G
It's all that I have left of you and me
       F         G          Am F
But to anyone else, they're just other people's things


Verse:
Am          F        C   G
There's the shoes I wore on our first date
Am     F        C    G
A photo of us in the snow down town
Am         F         C   G
That old pair of jeans you used to hate
      Am          G    F
So full of holes but I wouldn't throw them out
            Am           G    F
It's hard to see these things when you don't need me now


Chorus:
    C  Em F
If anyone else opened this box
          C   Em
They'd see for themselves
      F
It's just a pile of old junk
    Am    Em         Am   Em F
But to me, everything in there is a secret memory
   Am        C       G
It's all that I have left of you and me
       F         G
But to anyone else, they're just other people's things


Instrumental:
Am F C G
Am F C G
Am F G


Chorus:
    C  Em F
If anyone else opens this box
       C   Em
And helps themself
    F        F G
To whatever they want
    Am    Em          Am   Em F
Well I hope everything in there is a better memory
Am        C        G
Better than they were for you and me
            F
'Cause when I close this box
         C
They're not our's anymore
           Am  G F
If there's no you and me
                Am F C G
They're just other people's things
                 Am F C
