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 



      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 





      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 



      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.

     C9                G
