C                      G
I stumbled on a bunch of junk of mine
     C                 G
In a shoebox the other night
   C                   G
In between cleaning a thousand messes
     Em             D
That I'd made of my life

[Verse 2]
       C                         G
Ticket stubs, love poems and old letters
  C                          G
I dumped them all out on the bed
          C                 G
I found a homemade birthday card from mom
    Em      D       G           Em     D       G
And this is what it said, yeah, this is what it said

[Chorus]
      C                  
Don't forget the little moments
            G                   
They're the ones that mean the most
         C                      
When the way home seems so far away
        Em                   D
Take 'em out and hold them close
           C                 G
And take a picture with your father
       C                Em
'Cause one day he'll be gone
          C                 G
And don't forget to fill an old shoebox
         Em        D         G           Em         D       G
Full of things to look back on, full of things to look back on

[Verse 3]
         C               G
I opened up my grandpa's pocket knife
          C                G
And I was back to his back porch
       C                G
It was summertime I was turnin' nine
              Em                    D
He said, "You want that knife? It's yours"

[Verse 4]
    C                  G
I remember runnin' off in the yard
          C             G
Carved my name in every tree
          C                G
I haven't held it since he passed away
        Em         D       G 
And it meant the world to me
           Em         D       G 
Because he meant the world to me

[Chorus]
      C                  
Don't forget the little moments
            G                   
They're the ones that mean the most
         C                      
When the way home seems so far away
        Em                   D
Take 'em out and hold them close
           C                 G
And take a picture with your father
       C                Em
'Cause one day he'll be gone
          C                 G
And don't forget to fill an old shoebox
         Em        D         G           
Full of things to look back on  

[Bridge]
          C            
Look back on, a little window to the past
          G             
Look back on, God knows life goes by so fast
   Am              G/B              C                     D
If ever you should ever doubt the blessings that you've had

[Chorus]
      C                  
Don't forget the little moments
            G                   
They're the ones that mean the most
         C                      
When the way home seems so far away
        Em                   D
Take 'em out and hold them close
           C                 G
And take a picture with your father
       C                Em
'Cause one day he'll be gone
          C                 G
And don't forget to fill an old shoebox
         Em        D         G           
Full of things to look back on  

[Outro]
  C                      G
I stumbled on a bunch of junk of mine
     C                 G
In a shoebox the other night
