[Intro]

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

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

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 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

'Cause when I close this box

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

They're just other people's things
