๐ธ Intro:
E
๐ธ Verse 1:
E
Tell me what I look like through your eyes
C#m
Tell me, did I ever cross your mind?
A
Wonder if I have to wonder why
E
There's so many things that you could say
C#m
Why canโt you just come and set things straight?
A
Tell me, did you look the other way?
E
Mm-mm-mm
๐ธ Chorus:
A E
They say it's in the small things that I can see your love
C#m G#m
And I got all these big things and they're messing me up
A E
And maybe itโs perspective, and that could change my mind
C#m G#m
And one day all these small things they will add up over time
A
'Cause that happens all the time
๐ธ Verse 2:
E
Did you mean to teach me something new
C#m
Or show me how to love the way you do?
A
Everyone keeps telling me you only want the best for me
G#m
But that's just something new to me that I believe
๐ธ Chorus:
A E
They say it's in the small things that I can see your love
C#m G#m
But I've got all these big things and they're messing me up
A E
And maybe it's perspective, and that could change my mind
C#m G#m
And start seeing the small things how they add up over time
A
I know it will take some time
๐ธ Bridge:
G#m A
Once in a while when my heart stops beating
G#m A
I hear you say, "If you just keep breathing
G#m A C#m
You'll be alright, promise Iโm not leaving"
G#m
Now I believe it
๐ธ Chorus:
A
They say itโs in the small things (It's in the small things)
E
That I can see your love
C#m G#m
And I got all these big things and they still mess me up
A
And I know itโs perspective
E
And that has changed my mind (That has changed my mind)
C#m G#m
Now I can see the small things how they add up over time
A
It just takes a little time
E
One step and you'll be fine
