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
