G C
My life is a grocery store line
Em
A “We’ll be just fine”
G D
Don’t know how we survive, but we do
[Verse 2]
G C
My life is an early spring snow
Em
The last thread of hope
G D
That I just keep hanging onto
[Chorus]
C G D
My life is pieces of paper that I’ll get back to later
C
I’ll write you a story, how I ended up here
G D
Why the little things make us and how long it takes us
C
To figure out what matters the most
[Verse 3]
G C
My life is a two dollar beer
Em
With Friday nights here
G D
With friends that I’ve known since high school
[Verse 4]
G C
My life is an order to go
Em
A rainy car ride back home
G D
And someone you love to lay next to
[Chorus]
C G D
My life is pieces of paper that I’ll get back to later
C
I’ll write you a story, how I ended up here
G D
Why the little things make us and how long it takes us
C
To figure out what matters the most
[Bridge]
D C
Someday, well, I’ll look back and wonder
D C
Someday, it comes around a little quicker than they told you
G D
Asking, “Did I do, what I was supposed to do”
G
In my life
[Instrumental]
G D C D
[Chorus]
C G D
Don’t know why the little things make us and sometimes it takes us
C G D
Too damn long to figure out what matters the most
[Verse 5]
G C
My life is green grass through the snow
Em
A sweet reckless hope
G D G
And baby, I know what matters the most
