D                 E                          G
A key in the door, a step on the floor
                    Gm             A              D
A note on the table and a meal in the micro

Or are you just finding you don't want any more from me?

Verse

Chorus
Shoe box (shoe box)
Shoe box of lies
Shoe box (shoe box)
Shoe box of lies

You're so nineteen-ninety, and it's nineteen-ninety-four
Leave this world behind me 'cause you don't want me anymore

Outro
 D A Bm G for a couple of times
