  			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. 

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.
