*In the real song, a high G is played on the high e string
throughout the song, but it sounds fine without it.
However, I do recommend keeping the high G held
during the bridge.
Capo 7
Em C G (2x)
C Am G
You kept all the things I threw away.
C Am G
A leaf I picked a birthday card I made.
C Am Em D
Holding on to memories of you and me we didn't last a year,
C (once) Am (once)
We're just a box of souvenirs.
Em C G Em
May-be I pulled the panic cord
C G Em
May-be you were happy I was bored
C G
Maybe I wanted you to change
Em C G
Maybe I'm the one to blame
C Am G
This meant more to you than it did to me.
C Am G
I was full of doubts and you believed.
C Am Em D
The more that you keep comin' over, the more I know it's over dear.
C (once) Am (once)
We're just a box of souvenirs.
