[Intro]
(Spoken: Dear mom and dad...)
Eb
[Verse 1]
Eb* Ab* Eb* Ab* Things are fine here, and by fine, I mean, well, I'm not shivved, so that's something. Eb* Ab* Eb* Ab* Eb* Ab* Eb* Bb Statistic'lly so many people die each day, that that I'm not one of them's something to celebrate
[Chorus]
Eb
It's the little thingsThe very little things
Ab* Bb* Ab* Eb* Ab* Eb* Ab* Cm Things that seem so insignificant, you might forget, 'til those little things are the only things left Eb Ab Eb And you don't mope like there's no hope, like the world's come tumbling down Ab* Bb* Eb* You're one forced muscle twitch from turning up that frown
[Verse 2]
Eb I have friends here Eb* Ab* Eb* Ab* And by friends I mean convicts who murdered their fam'lies Eb* Ab* Eb* Ab* Eb* Ab* And yet who I somehow trust more than I can in these girls who called me their friend Bb* Then threw me under a bus and left me for dead
[Chorus]
Eb
But it's the little thingsThe very little things
Ab* Bb* Ab* Eb* It's those things you don't think would occur in your life Ab* Eb* Ab* Cm But some girl named Tasha just made me her wife Eb And you don't cry, or just ask why Ab Eb There's always something you can do Ab* Bb* Eb Even when you're stuck wond'ring why the fuck this would happen to you
(Spoken: Sorry, mom and dad. Prison has hardened me.)
[Bridge]
Ab Bb Ab When I think about the way things were before, I don't think that I can do this anymore Bb I want to cry, I want to scream, I need to shout
N.C.
I want to claw my way out
Cm I want to claw my way back in time Bb I wouldn't ever cheer, I wouldn't try Ab Bb* I'd just join the chess club, or ballet and have a better definition of a bad day Ab Bb I'm sorry I was reckless, I'm sorry I got drunk Cm Bb I'm sorry about peer pressure, peer pressure sucks Ab Bb And I'm just like, oh my God, I can't do this forever Cm Bb The best thing I'll do in a year is knit a sweater Ab Bb I don’t think I’m cut out for doing time Cm Bb I need a better lawyer, I need a better life Ab Bb Can this really be how it’s all gonna go Cm Bb Ab Bb ’Cause I don’t think I killed those girls, I really don’t
(Spoken: Shut the fuck up!)
[Chorus]
Eb
But it’s the little thingsThe very little things
Ab* Bb* Ab* Eb* Ab* Bb* Cm Its those things that should really mean nothing at all, but nothing in hell is a big freaking ball Eb So you say crap, I guess that’s that Ab Eb You build a bridge and you move on Ab* Bb* Eb And hope that four years doesn’t feel very long
