Chely Wright - Back of the bottom drawer
****Capo 1st fret****
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
