Shoe Box Chords
Intro:
 A#maj7-  C#maj7-  Fmaj7- Dmaj7  
Verse 1:
    Cm7We go many places    Cm7tilting favoured sky 
                        Cm7                    Cm7   A#maj7- F  
   Silence, blushes faded     in a little while 
   Cm7I am standstill, smiling,   Cm7reeking muted tunes 
   Cm7All our stencils quiver; maps distorted sCm7kies, distorted skies
Chorus:
Let’s please make no misEbtakes 
You breathe and lift life up in Dm7me 
A tree, we’ll sit and branch our Cm7minds away in whitest streaks of A#maj7green
Please make me reEbcall a place we’ve once built 
And lived iDm7n a shoebox cluttered with fCm7urniture 
And mismatched curtain A#maj7shades 
Park your heart inEbside with me and place those coupons 
Leave the Dm7keys and a note aCm7way with thee 
                 A#maj7-  C#maj7-  Fmaj7- Dmaj7  
Don’t forget me please… 
Verse2:
   Cm7I’ve forgotten beauty   Cm7rinsing in the dark 
                      Cm7                       Cm7   A#maj7-  F  
   An occasional whisper    carves the stars in place
   Cm7How in quiet moments     Cm7you are juggling smiles 
                       Cm7                       Cm7   A#maj7-  F  
   Cigarette smoke beckons   momentum’s swinging care 
Verse 3:
   Cm7Weary moonbeams splicing    Cm7disjointed happy thoughts 
                               Cm7                        Cm7   A#maj7-  F  
   Your laugh is locked in drawers    and vocal chords are drowned 
   Cm7Place us many places    Cm7scenic or grotesque 
   Cm7Living by the ocean, perfect or misplacedCm7, or misplaced
Chorus:
Let’s please make no misEbtakes 
You breathe and lift life up in Dm7me 
A tree, we’ll sit and branch our Cm7minds away in whitest streaks of A#maj7green
Please make me reEbcall a place we’ve once built 
And lived iDm7n a shoebox cluttered with fCm7urniture 
And mismatched curtain A#maj7shades 
Park your heart inEbside with me and place those coupons 
Leave the Dm7keys and a note aCm7way with thee 
                 A#maj7-  C#maj7-  Fmaj7- Dmaj7  
Don’t forget me please…
