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


Chorus:

      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



Chorus:

      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


Chorus:

      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
I stumbled on a bunch of junk of mine

     C9                G
In a shoebox the other night
