[Intro]
It's a Ambox with a kGey that can't be fCound
But mAmaybe thats a fGucked up metCaphor
Yet you hAmope and you pGray
It'll opCen up one Amday
But for Amnow you just keep lGying on the fCloor
[Verse 1]
You think mAmaybe you can bGust the thing right oCpen
But siAmttin' there it fruGstrates you agCain
You pound Amat it with your fGist
You get tiCred, you get piAmssed
Cuz the Ambox might be the soGurce of all your sCin
( Am   G   C   Am   G  C)
[Chorus]
AmSo darling Gtell meC  
AmTell me how to fGind the goddamn kCey
It's been Amlost since you've been Ggone
and so have CI, it's been so lAmong
Since Amyou were heGre next to Cme
[Verse 2]
It's like a Ambox with a kGey that can't be foCund
You can oAmpen it but oGnly in your drCeams
And sAmhe's there in it tGoo
Staring rCight back into Amyou
You wake Amup and your heart tGears right at the sCeams
[Chorus]

The story behind the song

"Lockbox" paints a picture of something precious yet inaccessible, a hidden part of oneself or a shared memory that can't quite be unlocked. The frustration of a key that can't be found speaks to a longing for what's lost, especially with the ache of missing someone dearly. It feels like a quiet reflection on absence and the things we hold onto, even when they're just out of reach.

[Intro]

Am G C

It's a box with a key that can't be found

Am G C

But maybe thats a fucked up metaphor

Am G

Yet you hope and you pray

C Am

It'll open up one day

Am G C

But for now you just keep lying on the floor

[Verse 1]

Am G C

You think maybe you can bust the thing right open

Am G C

But sittin' there it frustrates you again

Am G

You pound at it with your fist

C Am

You get tired, you get pissed

Am G C

Cuz the box might be the source of all your sin

Am G C Am G C

( )

[Chorus]

Am G C

So darling tell me

Am G C

Tell me how to find the goddamn key

Am G

It's been lost since you've been gone

C Am

and so have I, it's been so long

Am G C

Since you were here next to me

[Verse 2]

Am G C

It's like a box with a key that can't be found

Am G C

You can open it but only in your dreams

Am G

And she's there in it too

C Am

Staring right back into you

Am G C

You wake up and your heart tears right at the seams

[Chorus]

Am G C

So darling tell me

Am G C

Tell me how to find the goddamn key

Am G

It's been lost since you've been gone

C Am

and so have I, it's been so long

Am G C

Since you were here next to me

[Bridge]

Am G C

Cuz I don't know where

Am G C

Where to go from here

Am G C Am

Sometimes I wish I could just

G C

Fly away and disappear

[Chorus]

Am G C

So darling tell me

Am G C

Tell me how to find the goddamn key

Am G

It's been lost since you've been gone

C Am

and so have I, it's been so long

Since you were here next to me

[Outro]
