Intro:

C         F         C


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.
