Intro
G D Em G D Em Am C
Verse 1
G D Em
I'm looking through a box my dad just sent me
G D Em
Filled with hand me downs and things he once wore
G D Em C
He passed along his blessings and his curses
G D Em C D
But mainly scraps and nothing more ... no nothing more
G D Em
And I pray to God his shoes will never fit me
G D Em
And I pray this isn't my inheritance
G D Em C
His dirty t-shirts and all his girlfriend's mini skirts
G D Em C D
Are the things I now resent ... Lord I resent
Chorus
Em F/D G Am
Old man didn't gimme much more than second hand clothing
Em F/D G Am C
But Jesus wants more for me than second hand clothing, second hand clothing
Verse 2
G D Em
I've spent my lifetime dancing with his demons
G D Em
They're constantly comparing him with me
G D Em C
They tell their lies as they look into my eyes and say
G D Em C D
The apple doesn't fall far from it's tree ... and I pray oh Lord not me
(Chorus)
Verse 3
G D Em
So I put away this box that I was given
G D Em
Cause nothing in it meant that much to me
G D Em C
I have outgrown these hand me downs and now I know
G D Em C D
That God gives me everything I need ... everything I need now
(Chorus)
