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:

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
