D E GIt's under my bed, it's never been read
Gm A DIt's in with my school stuff and my mom never cleans there

From my first little fib, when I still wore a bib

There are two versions of "Shoe Box" being shipped to radio stations, so the
version you hear first may start with the chorus riffs twice (the single
remix) or it may begin just with Steven Page's vocals (that's the album
version).
I haven't figured out whether the song should be played with open or barre
chords, so right now I'm using a mix of both, depending on the part of the
song, until I see what feels comfy. The bulk of the song is played in
straight 4/4 downstrokes, though during the third verse and part of the
outro, they're off-beat upstrokes, which sounds kinda cool. My chord choices:
D: 000232 or X5777X
- E 022100
G: 355433 or 320003
Gm 355333 A: X02220 or 577655
Bm X24432Dsus4 000233- Asus4 X0223X
