Small Things

Em  Bm  C  D

[Verse]
Em             Bm       C D
..I got this photograph, 22 years have passed
Em               Bm                C           D
..You with your hair tied back and me in your arms
Em               Bm                  C            D
..We’re at your brother’s house and I’m wearing hand-me-downs
Em             Bm                 C             D
You’re in my father’s shirt, the one that you loved

[Pre-Chorus]
C
So much has changed
          Em                            D
But your smile and your laugh stay the same
          C
For the three kids you raised
       Em                 D
By yourself on a minimum wage

[Chorus]
            C                  G
You made a big life from the small things
            D                        Em           D
When there wasn’t enough, you still give us the world
              C                G
You made us feel like we were something
        D
Never left us in the dark

[Post-Chorus]
                  C Em         D
I’ve always got you….in my heart, in my mind
                 C  Em            D
I’ve always had you….from the start of my life

[Verse]
Em        Bm                C          D                Em
I know I think I’m growing up, but I still need you so much
              Bm              C               D
I might have moved away but you’re still my home
Em            Bm             C           D
..You let me make mistakes, mess up and call you late
Em                 Bm         C      D
That’s the way of saying you love me….

[Pre-Chorus]
C
So much has changed
          Em                            D
But your smile and your laugh stay the same
          C
For the three kids you raised
       Em                 D
By yourself on a minimum wage

[Chorus]
            C                  G
You made a big life from the small things
            D                        Em           D
When there wasn’t enough, you still give us the world
              C                G
You made us feel like we were something
        D
Never left us in the dark

[Post-Chorus]
                  C Em         D
I’ve always got you….in my heart, in my mind
                 C  Em            D
I’ve always had you….from the start of my life

[Bridge]
C             Em            D                          G   D
I don’t know just how you stop this all from falling apart….
C             Em                       D
I don’t know how to thank you for the love in a photograph

[Chorus]
            C                  G
You made a big life from the small things
            D                        Em           D
When there wasn’t enough, you still give us the world
              C                G
You made us feel like we were something
        D
Never left us in the dark

[Post-Chorus]
                  C Em         D
I’ve always got you….in my heart, in my mind
                 C  Em            D
I’ve always had you….from the start of my life
