[Verse 1]
G D G D An old pack of luckies, a builder’s kit G D G D Sittin’ right next to my first catcher’s mitt G D Bm D Books with my name on I ain’t seen before G A D I found ‘em all in this old drawer G D G D A talent show medal, says I’m a star G D G D A picture my mom took of my first car G D Bm D It hasn’t been opened fifteen years or more G A D I’m opening up this old drawer
[Chorus 1]
A G D In a dresser that I must’ve left for dead A G D In the bedroom where I used to lay my head G D G D Full of old memories, tossed in a heap Bm D G D That I couldn’t let go but I couldn’t quite keep Em Asus2 Of a life that seemed to have so much in store Em Em/F# G A D But I guess I left it here in this old drawer
[Verse 2]
G D Down in the bottom G D With dust for a coat G D G D A binder that holds all the letters she wrote G D Bm D Open it up and she fills up the room G A D They smell just like her old perfume
[Chorus 2]
A G D Lord I can still see her standing there A G D Tyin’ a braid in her long brown hair G D G D It’s these old memories tossed in a heap Bm D G D That I couldn’t let go but I couldn’t quite keep Em Asus2 A Of a future that I just can’t see no more Em Em/F# G A D I never should have opened this old drawer
[Bridge]
Bm G D This old drawer is a time machine Bm G D Just like that I’m seventeen C G Bm D Drivin’ south at sunset, gotta have her home by ten Bm G D Livin’ through those perfect years Bm G D But pretty soon I’m fightin’ tears C G A D Cause suddenly I’m livin’ through the losing her again
[Instrumental]
D G G/F# Em G D
[Chorus 3]
A G D This is the drawer where I left her ring A G D It’s all I can do not to burn this thing G D G D Full of old memories I don’t wanna know Bm D G D And I couldn’t hold on but I couldn’t let go Em Asus2 And I don’t know how to walk on out that door F#m Em And never think about them anymore Em Em/F# G A D So I guess I’ll leave em here in this old drawer
