Strum
D-DU-UDU
 How many times  can you read that letter,
 and what do you need it for?
 Can't you see that the salutation
 has no meaning anymore?
 And you can't  resurrect the body,
 and the closing's out of date
 and if you stumble  upon an answer
 it will always  be too late--
 you better take  that letter, put  it in the boyfriend box.
 Are you still  staring at that picture
 of someone who doesn't care?
 just like you're looking through a window
 at a world that isn't there?
 If you're trying  to reconstruct it,
 it will only fall apart
 'cause there's  really nothing in it
 but your late,  great, heart--
 you better take  that picture, put  it in the boyfriend box.
ooh la la, ooh la la, ooh la la
 There's something dark  and dead buried in  your head,
 and underneath  your bed.
You're  still tempted to  believe  the world  is true.
 You even almost do.
 Your little world  is a little empty,
 but the memories never stop
 organizing themselves in layers,
 the most recent at the top.
 If you need  to go any deeper
 you can dig them out again,
 just in case  you need to be reminded
 of what  a fool you've been--
 you're gonna take  those memories, put  them in the boyfriend box,
ooh la la, ooh la la, ooh la la
Take  those letters, put  them in the boyfriend box
 the boyfriend box,  the boyfriend box

Readable chord sheet for Boyfriend Box by Mr. T Experience

How many [A7]times can you read that letter,
and what do you need it for?
Can't you see that the salutation
has no meaning anymore?

And you [D7]can't resurrect the body,
and the closing's out of date

and if you [E7]stumble upon an answer

it will [G6]always be too [D7]late--

you better [A]take that [C]letter, [D]put it in the [F]boyfriend [A]box.    [D]      [C]         [A]

Are you [A7]still staring at that picture
of someone who doesn't care?
just like you're looking through a window
at a world that isn't there?

If you're [D7]trying to reconstruct it,
it will only fall apart

'cause [E7]there's really nothing in it

but your [G6]late, great, [D7]heart--

you better [A]take that [C]picture, [D]put it in the [F]boyfriend [A]box.  [D]    [C]       [A]

[A]ooh [G]la [D]la, [D]ooh [G]la [A]la, [A]ooh [G]la [D]la      [D]        [C]           [A]

There's [A]something [C7]dark and [D7]dead   [A]      [A7]buried [C7]in your [D7]head,  [A]

and [G7]under[D7]neath your [A]bed.

[A]You're still [C7]tempted [D7]to  [A]        bel[A7]ieve the [C7]world is [D7]true.    [A]

You [G7]even [D7]almost [A7]do.     [E7#9]

Your little [A7]world is a little empty,
but the memories never stop
organizing themselves in layers,
the most recent at the top.

If you [D7]need to go any deeper
you can dig them out again,

just in [E7]case you need to be reminded

of [G6]what a fool you've [D7]been--

you're gonna [A]take those [C]memories, [D]put them in the [F]boyfriend [A]box,  [D]    [C]       [A]

[A]ooh [G]la [D]la, [D]ooh [G]la [A]la, [A]ooh [G]la [D]la

[A]Take those [C]letters, [D]put them in the [F]boyfriend [A]box   [C]        [D]

the [F]boyfriend [A]box,     [C]   [D]        the [F]boyfriend [D]box         [D]           [C]              [A]
