Verse:
I [C9]stumbled on a bunch of [G]junk of mine
In a [C9]shoebox the other [G]night
In [C9]between cleaning up [G]files and messes
That [Em]I'd made of my [D]life
Verse 2:
Ticket [C9]stubs, poems and old [G]letters
I [C9]dumped them all out on the [G]bed
Found a [C9]homemade birthday [G]card from mom
And [D]this is [C9]what it [G]said, yeah, [D]this is [C9]what it [G]said
Chorus:
Don't [C9]forget the little [G]moments
They're the [C9]ones that mean the [G]most
When the [C9]way home seems so far [G]away
Take 'em[Em] out and hold th[D]em close
And take a [C9]picture with your [G]father
'Cause [C9]one day he'll be [G]gone
And don't [C9]forget to fill an [G]old shoebox
Full of [D]things to [C9]look back [G]on, full of [D]things to [C9]look back [G]on
Verse 3:
I opened [C9]up my grandpa's [G]pocket knife
And I was [C9]back to his back [G]porch
It was [C9]summertime I was [G]turnin' nine
He said, "You [Em]want that knife? It's [D]yours"
Verse 4:
I re[C9]member runnin' off [G]in the yard
Carved my [C9]name in every [G]tree
I haven't [C9]held it since he [G]passed away
And it [D]meant the [C9]world to [G]me
Because [D]he meant the [C9]world to [G]me
Chorus:
Don't [C9]forget the little [G]moments
They're the [C9]ones that mean the [G]most
When the [C9]way home seems so far [G]away
Take 'em[Em] out and hold th[D]em close
And take a [C9]picture with your [G]father
'Cause [C9]one day he'll be [G]gone
And don't [C9]forget to fill an [G]old shoebox
Full of [D]things to [C9]look back [G]on,
Bridge:
Look back [C9]on, a little [D]window to the past
Look back [C9]on, God knows [D]life goes by so fast
If [Em]ever you should [C9]ever doubt the [G]blessings that you've [D]had
Chorus:
Don't [C9]forget the little [G]moments
They're the [C9]ones that mean the [G]most
When the [C9]way home seems so far [G]away
Take 'em[Em] out and hold th[D]em close
And take a [C9]picture with your [G]father
'Cause [C9]one day he'll be [G]gone
And don't [C9]forget to fill an [G]old shoebox
Full of [D]things to [C9]look back [G]on.
I [C9]stumbled on a bunch of [G]junk of mine
In a [C9]shoebox the other [G]night
