VERSE 1 (rhythm guitar)
Ab
I've got this notion,
C# Ab
that moving out is better,
Than this commotion,
C# Ab
if she complains I wont let her,
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/the_spinto_band/brown_boxes_tab.html ]
C# G#
Tell me what to do
Bb C# G#
and when she wants to argue
Bb C# E5
ill remind her that were through
VERSE 2
Ab
A late reminder,
C# Ab
and post-it notes and markers,
Ab C# Ab
were it not kinder her black eye would be darker,
C# G# Bb C# G#
And all these brown boxes havent helped me move one bit
Bb C# E5
in half-empty rooms they sit,
CHORUS 1
G# C# Bb
Stay thats where they will stay
C# G#
I could never say,
C# Bb
I would never say,
C#
"This is over"
VERSE 3
Ab
Ive got this cupid
C# Ab
humble from the marker
C# Ab
Its pretty stupid, but none-the-less ill pack it
C# G#
and this boxcutters too dull,
Bb C# G#
other wise id end it all,
Bb C# E5
theres still boxes in the hall,
CHORUS 2
G# C# Bb
And stay, thats where they will stay,
C# G# C# Bb
I could never place any other blame,
G# C# Bb
And how could you even go,
C# G# C#
on living if its so, unintentional,
Bb (end with Intro riff)
