Verse :
         C                  F             C
With his back against the San Francisco traffic
       G6sus4             G7                   C
On the bridge's side that faces towards the jail
Am             G6sus4             F
Setting out to join a demographic,
   C                    F                C
He hoists his first leg up over the rail.

         C                  F                 C
A phone call's made, police cars show up quickly.
    G6sus4             G7           C
The sergeant slams his passenger door.
         Am                  G6sus4                      F
He says, Hey son why don't you talk through this with me,
     C                  F            C
Just tell me what you're doing it for.


Chorus:
           Am                      C
Oh, it's a little bit of everything,
         Am                    Em
It's the mountains, it's the fog,
         F                  C
It's the news at six o'clock,
         G6sus4               G7
It's the death of my first dog.
        C                  F
It's the angels up above me,
         C          C/B           Am
It's the song that they don't sing,
        G6sus4       G7         C
It's a little bit of everything.




Verse :
           C             F                 C
There's an older man who stands in a buffet line,
       G6sus4           G7                 C
He is smiling and he's holding out his plate,
         Am               G6sus4          F
And the further he looks back into his timeline,
     C                F               C
That hard road always led him to today.

       C                 F                      C
Making up for when his bright future had left him,
       G6sus4                  G7             C
Making up for the fact that his only son is gone,
            Am                 G6sus4               F
And letting everything out once, his server asks him,
         C               F                    C
Have you figured out yet, what it is you want?


Chorus:
         Am                       C
I want a little bit of everything,
    Am                   Em
The biscuits and the beans,
         F                 C
Whatever helps me to forget about
                G6sus4              G7
The things that brought me to my knees.
        C                     F
So pile on those mashed potatoes,
       C     C/B          Am
And an extra chicken wing,
             G6sus4        G7            C
I'm having a little bit of everything.




Verse :
            C                 F                C
Somewhere a pretty girl is writing invitations,
     G6sus4           G7                    C
To a wedding she has scheduled for the fall,
              Am              G6sus4          F
Her man says, "Baby, can I make an observation?
          C                 F             C
You don't seem to be having any fun at all."

          C                         F                  C
She said, "You just worry about your groomsmen and your shirt size,
         G6sus4               G7                  C
And rest assured that this is making me feel good,
             Am              G6sus4          F
I think that love is so much easier than you realize,
           C                F                         C
If you can give yourself to someone, then you should.


Chorus:
             Am                    C
Cause it's a little bit of everything,
            Am                  Em
The way you joke, the way you ache,
      F                    C
It is getting up before you,
           G6sus4                G7
So I could watch you as you wake.
           C              F
So on that day in late September,
              C      C/B       Am
It's not some stupid little ring,
              G6sus4        G7          C
I'm getting a little bit of everything.

           Am                C
Oh, it's a little bit of everything,
         Am                 Em
It's the matador and the bull,
         F                    C
It's the suggested daily dosage,
         G6sus4                 G7
It's the red moon when it's full.
          C                      F
All these psychics and these doctors,
            C          C/B           Am
They're all right and they're all wrong,
           C                           F
It's like trying to make out every word,
                 C              Am
When they should simply hum along.
               C                       F
It's not some message written in the dark,
        C          C/B      Am
Or some truth that no one sees,
  G6sus4             G7          C
It's a little bit of everything.
