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