*In the real song, a high G is played on the high e string
throughout the song, but it sounds fine without it.
However, I do recommend keeping the high G held
during the bridge.
Capo 7
Em C G (2x)
[Verse]
C Am G
You kept all the things I threw away.
C Am G
A leaf I picked a birthday card I made.
C Am Em D
Holding on to memories of you and me we didn't last a year,
C (once) Am (once)
We're just a box of souvenirs.
[Chorus]
Em C G Em
May-be I pulled the panic cord
C G Em
May-be you were happy I was bored
C G
Maybe I wanted you to change
Em C G
Maybe I'm the one to blame
[Verse]
C Am G
This meant more to you than it did to me.
C Am G
I was full of doubts and you believed.
C Am Em D
The more that you keep comin' over, the more I know it's over dear.
C (once) Am (once)
We're just a box of souvenirs.
[Chorus]
Em C G Em
May-be I pulled the panic cord
C G Em
May-be you were happy I was bored
C G
Maybe I wanted you to change
Em C G
Maybe I'm the one to blame
Em C G Em
May-be you were just too nice to me
C G Em
May-be it took me way too long to leave
C G
Maybe once we felt the same
Em C G
Maybe I'm the one to blame
Em C G
Maybe I'm the one to blame.
[Bridge]
(for the bridge, keep playing a G on the high e string at all times)
D Em
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do
C
That's the way the story go-oes (2x)
[Chorus]
(Strum each chord once for the first half of the chorus)
Em C G Em
May-be I pulled the panic cord
C G Em
May-be you were happy I was bored
C G
Maybe I wanted you to change
Em C G
Maybe I'm the one to blame
(begin normal strumming again)
Em C G Em
May-be you were just too nice to me
C G Em
May-be it took me way too long to leave
C G
Maybe once we felt the same
Em C G
Maybe I'm the one to blame
Em C G
Maybe I'm the one to blame.
Em C G (once)
Maybe I'm the one to blame.
