I would normally do this in full tab<br>but there`s no tricky solo or anything, and I think just a listen or three to<br>the song and the chords will probably get most fans through okay. All the<br>chords sound right to my ears, but if you`ve got better suggestions, fire<br>away. <br><br><br>** VERSE 1<br>D E G <br>A key in the door, a step on the floor<br><br> Gm A D<br>A note on the table and a meal in the micro<br><br> E G<br>Note says "I`m in bed, please make sure that you`re fed<br><br> Gm A D<br>If you`re taking a shower, you can borrow my bathrobe<br><br> E G<br>And when I`m asleep, I dream you move in next week"<br><br> Gm A<br>I crumple the note and save it to put inside my<br><br><br>** PRE-CHORUS<br>D A<br>Shoe box (shoe box) <br><br> Bm A G<br>Shoe box of lies<br><br>** VERSE 2<br>D E G<br>It`s under my bed, it`s never been read<br><br> Gm A D<br>It`s in with my school stuff and my mom never cleans there<br><br> E G<br>>From my first little fib, when I still wore a bib<br><br> Gm A D<br>To my latest attempt at pretending I`m someone<br><br> E G<br>He`s not seventeen, and doesn`t know what you mean<br><br> Gm A<br>When talk turns to single malts or stilton or my <br><br>**CHORUS<br>D A<br>Shoe box (shoe box) <br><br> Bm A G<br>Shoe box of lies<br><br>D A<br>Shoe box (shoe box) <br><br> Bm A G<br>Shoe box of lies<br><br>**BRIDGE<br>G A G A G<br> Did somebody tell you this is how it`s supposed to be?<br><br> A Bm G D A<br>Or are you just finding you don`t want any more from me?<br><br><br>("one-note solo" over chorus-like D-A-Bm-G progression x2)<br><br>** VERSE 3<br>D E G<br>Was it something I said or was it something you read<br><br> Gm A D<br>That`s making me think that I should never have come here<br><br> E G<br>I can offer you lies, I can tell you goodbye<br><br> Gm A D<br>I can tell you I`m sorry, but I can`t tell the truth, dear<br><br> E G<br>And what if I could-would it do any good?<br><br> Gm A<br>`Cause you`ll never get to see the contents of my <br><br>** CHORUS<br>D A<br>Shoe box (shoe box) <br><br> Bm A G<br>Shoe box of lies<br><br>D A<br>Shoe box (shoe box) <br><br> Bm A G<br>Shoe box of lies<br><br>** BRIDGE<br>G A G A<br> You`re so nineteen-ninety, and it`s nineteen-ninety-four<br> <br>G A Bm G D A<br> Leave this world behind me `cause you don`t want me anymore<br><br><br>(vamp D-A-Bm-G progression with "Lie-ee-yie" all the way home and end on a<br>Dsus4)<br><><><><br>There are two versions of "Shoe Box" being shipped to radio stations, so the<br>version you hear first may start with the chorus riffs twice (the single<br>remix) or it may begin just with Steven Page`s vocals (that`s the album<br>version). <br> <br>I haven`t figured out whether the song should be played with open or barre<br>chords, so right now I`m using a mix of both, depending on the part of the<br>song, until I see what feels comfy. The bulk of the song is played in<br>straight 4/4 downstrokes, though during the third verse and part of the<br>outro, they`re off-beat upstrokes, which sounds kinda cool. My chord choices:<br><br>D: 000232 or X5777X<br>E: 022100<br>G: 355433 or 320003<br>Gm: 355333<br>A: X02220 or 577655<br>Bm: X24432<br>Dsus4: 000233<br>Asus4: X0223X<br>(The guys do sound like they`re sneakin` in a fast Dsus4 and an Asus4 during<br>the chorus, so those of you who wanna put `em in there for the full effect,<br>go to town...)<br><br>Let me know what you think and feel free to send corrections...<br><br>Dan Amrich (not the King of Bedside Manor)<br>DanAmrich@aol.com
