Chords in this song7
VERSE 1
A key in the door, a step on the floor
A note on the table and a meal in the micro
Note says "I'm in bed, please make sure that you're fed
If you're taking a shower, you can borrow my bathrobe
And when I'm asleep, I dream you move in next week"
I crumple the note and save it to put inside my
PRE-CHORUS
Shoe box (shoe box)
Shoe box of lies
VERSE 2
It's under my bed, it's never been read
It's in with my school stuff and my mom never cleans there
>From my first little fib, when I still wore a bib
To my latest attempt at pretending I'm someone
He's not seventeen, and doesn't know what you mean
When talk turns to single malts or stilton or my
CHORUS
Shoe box (shoe box)
Shoe box of lies
Shoe box (shoe box)
Shoe box of lies
BRIDGE
Did somebody tell you this is how it's supposed to be?
Or are you just finding you don't want any more from me?
("one-note solo" over chorus-like D-A-Bm-G progression x2)
VERSE 3
Was it something I said or was it something you read
That's making me think that I should never have come here
I can offer you lies, I can tell you goodbye
I can tell you I'm sorry, but I can't tell the truth, dear
And what if I could-would it do any good?
'Cause you'll never get to see the contents of my
CHORUS
Shoe box (shoe box)
Shoe box of lies
Shoe box (shoe box)
Shoe box of lies
BRIDGE
You're so nineteen-ninety, and it's nineteen-ninety-four
Leave this world behind me 'cause you don't want me anymore
