Verse 1:
G B7 Em C
I've got a shoebox underneath my arm,
G B7 Em C
Yeah, its been draggin' me down way too long.
G B7 Em C
Filled with empty dreams that never came true
G B7 Em C
I bet we all have got a box or two.
[Refrão]Chorus
Em G Am C B7
(I'm letting go)
Of all the things that are holding me down
Em G Am C B7
(Now that I know)
There's so much for me than what's come before
C7 B7
I've done made up my mind
C7 B7
Not wasting no more time
C7 B7 D
I'm leaving it behind
Verse 2:
G B7 Em C
I'm tired of thinking 'bout what might have been
G B7 Em C
How I could change my life and live it again
G B7 Em C
That's just a lie trying to run me down
G B7 Em C
My better days are all in front of me now.
