Artist: Chris Young Album: The Man I Want To Be Written By: Tom Hambridge and Jeffrey Steele Tabbed By: Jared Nunnally [Verse]
  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
