The Boyfriend Box
How many A7times can you read that letter,
and what do you need it for?
Can't you see that the salutation
has no meaning anymore?
And you D7can't resurrect the body,
and the closing's out of date
and if you E7stumble upon an answer
it will G6always be too D7late--
you better Atake that Cletter, Dput it in the Fboyfriend Abox.D  C  A  
Are you A7still staring at that picture
of someone who doesn't care?
just like you're looking through a window
at a world that isn't there?
If you're D7trying to reconstruct it,
it will only fall apart
'cause E7there's really nothing in it
but your G6late, great, D7heart--
you better Atake that Cpicture, Dput it in the Fboyfriend Abox.D  C  A  
Aooh Gla Dla, Dooh Gla Ala, Aooh Gla DlaD  C  A  
There's Asomething C7dark and D7dead         A  A7buried C7in your D7head,A  
and G7underD7neath your Abed.
AYou're still C7tempted D7to          AbelA7ieve the C7world is D7true.A  
       G7       D7        A7E7#9
You even almost do.
Your little A7world is a little empty,
but the memories never stop
organizing themselves in layers,
the most recent at the top.
If you D7need to go any deeper
you can dig them out again,
just in E7case you need to be reminded
of G6what a fool you've D7been--
you're gonna Atake those Cmemories, Dput them in the Fboyfriend Abox,D  C  A  
Aooh Gla Dla, Dooh Gla Ala, Aooh Gla Dla

The Boyfriend Box

How many times can you read that letter,

and what do you need it for?

Can't you see that the salutation

has no meaning anymore?

And you can't resurrect the body,

and the closing's out of date

and if you stumble upon an answer

G6 D7

it will always be too late--

A C D F A D C A

you better take that letter, put it in the boyfriend box.

Are you still staring at that picture

of someone who doesn't care?

just like you're looking through a window

at a world that isn't there?

If you're trying to reconstruct it,

it will only fall apart

'cause there's really nothing in it

G6 D7

but your late, great, heart--

A C D F A D C A

you better take that picture, put it in the boyfriend box.

A G D D G A A G D D C A

ooh la la, ooh la la, ooh la la

A C7 D7 A A7 C7 D7 A

There's something dark and dead buried in your head,

G7 D7 A

and underneath your bed.

A C7 D7 A A7 C7 D7 A

You're still tempted to believe the world is true.

G7 D7 A7

E7#9

You even almost do.

Your little world is a little empty,

but the memories never stop

organizing themselves in layers,

the most recent at the top.

If you need to go any deeper

you can dig them out again,

just in case you need to be reminded

G6 D7

of what a fool you've been--

A C D F A D C A

you're gonna take those memories, put them in the boyfriend box,

A G D D G A A G D

ooh la la, ooh la la, ooh la la

A C D F A C D

Take those letters, put them in the boyfriend box

F A C D F D D C A

the boyfriend box, the boyfriend box
