verse 1 
   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 


[Refrão]

   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

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

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
