     Am
For half of my short life I've kept

a drawer in my room for all the
  D                         Em
little trinkets I consider gold
   Am
Photographs, bottle caps,
   G
Lanyards, flowers, crumpled maps,
  D                B           Em
Things that look particularly old
     Am
The plan has always been
               G
That I should throw them out the window
         B7
If the building were to catch on fire
 Em
Given the dogs were safe outside
          Am
But the drawer is full of trash
             G
and I could turn it all to ash
             Am
Just for the fleeting joy I'd get from adding
Em         G      Em
More smoke to the sky
