Intro - (Cadd9) - (Asus4)-(A) - (G/F#) - (G) - (Dsus4)-(D)
(verse 1)
(Asus2) (Dm/E)
In the back of the bottom drawer,
(Asus2) (Dm/E)
Of the dresser by our bed,
(Asus2) (Dm/E)
Is a box of odds and ends,
(G)
That I have always kept,
(Em7)
But the man who sleeps beside me,
(D)
Doesn't know it's even there,
(Bm)
Little pieces of my past,
(Asus4) (A)
That I shouldn't have to share,
(chorus)
(D) (Bm)
(A) napkin that is stained with time,
(G) (A)
Has a poem on it that didn't quite rhyme,
(Bm) (A) (G) - (A)
But it made me cr--y,
(D) (Bm)
In a dear Jane letter from a different guy,
(G) (A)
He broke up with me and he told me,
(Bm) (A) (G)
I'm not always ri--ght,
(Cadd9) (Asus4) - (A)
And a stolen key from an old hotel room door,
(G/F#) (G) (A) (D)
In the back, of the bottom drawer,
(verse 2)
(A) (Dm/E)
I don't keep these things,
(A) (Dm/E)
Cause I'm longing to go back,
(A) (Dm/E) (G)
I keep them because I want to stay right where I'm at,
(Em7)
I'm reminded of my rights and wrongs,
(D)
I don't want to mess this up,
(Bm)
But I wouldn't know where I belong,
(Asus4) (A)
Without this box of stuff,
(chorus)
(D) (Bm)
(A) birthday card from my first boyfriend,
(G) (A)
He signed it I love you so I gave in,
(Bm) (A) (G) (A)
Yeah we went too far, in his daddy's car,
(D) (Bm)
And those Mardi Gras beads from ninety-eight,
(G) (A)
We danced all night, stayed out so late,
(Bm) (A) (G) (A)
We thought we were stars, closing down the bars.
(Cadd9) (Asus4) - (A)
That champagne was cheap but still I've got that cork.
(G/F#) (G) (A) (D)
In the back, of the bottom drawer,
(bridge)
(Am7) (G)
I'm not trying to hide these things from the man I love today,
(Bb) (A)
But I'm a better woman for him, thanks to my yesterdays,
(chorus)
(D) (Bm)
So I try to give more than I take,
(G) (A)
And I bite my tongue fight the urge to say,
(Bm) (A) (G)
It's my way, or no way at all.
(Cadd9) (Asus4) - (A)
And now I cherish love a whole lot more.
(G/F#) (G) (A) (D)
Cause of what's, in the back, of the bottom drawer.
outro - (Cadd9) - (Asus4) - (A) - (G/F#) - (G) - (A) - (D)
