Capo 3
[Verse]
C9 G
I stumbled on a bunch of junk of mine
C9 G
In a shoebox the other night
C9 G
In between cleaning up files and messes
Em D
That I'd made of my life
[Verse 2]
C9 G
Ticket stubs, poems and old letters
C9 G
I dumped them all out on the bed
C9 G
Found a homemade birthday card from mom
D C9 G D C9 G
And this is what it said, yeah, this is what it said
[Chorus]
C9 G
Don't forget the little moments
C9 G
They're the ones that mean the most
C9 G
When the way home seems so far away
Em D
Take 'em out and hold them close
C9 G
And take a picture with your father
C9 G
'Cause one day he'll be gone
C9 G
And don't forget to fill an old shoebox
D C9 G D C9 G
Full of things to look back on, full of things to look back on
[Verse 3]
C9 G
I opened up my grandpa's pocket knife
C9 G
And I was back to his back porch
C9 G
It was summertime I was turnin' nine
Em D
He said, "You want that knife? It's yours"
[Verse 4]
C9 G
I remember runnin' off in the yard
C9 G
Carved my name in every tree
C9 G
I haven't held it since he passed away
D C9 G
And it meant the world to me
D C9 G
Because he meant the world to me
[Chorus]
C9 G
Don't forget the little moments
C9 G
They're the ones that mean the most
C9 G
When the way home seems so far away
Em D
Take 'em out and hold them close
C9 G
And take a picture with your father
C9 G
'Cause one day he'll be gone
C9 G
And don't forget to fill an old shoebox
D C9 G
Full of things to look back on,
[Bridge]
C9 D
Look back on, a little window to the past
C9 D
Look back on, God knows life goes by so fast
Em C9 G D
If ever you should ever doubt the blessings that you've had
[Chorus]
C9 G
Don't forget the little moments
C9 G
They're the ones that mean the most
C9 G
When the way home seems so far away
Em D
Take 'em out and hold them close
C9 G
And take a picture with your father
C9 G
'Cause one day he'll be gone
C9 G
And don't forget to fill an old shoebox
D C9 G
Full of things to look back on.
[Outro]
C9 G
I stumbled on a bunch of junk of mine
