[Verse]
A D A
With his back against the San Francisco traffic
E6sus4 G7 A
On the bridges side that faces towards the jail
F#m G6sus4 D
Setting out to join a demographic,
A D A
He hoists his first leg up over the rail.
A D A
F# phone call's made, police cars show up quickly.
E6sus4 G7 A
The sergeant slams his passenger door.
F#m G6sus4 D
He says, Hey son why don't you talk through this with me,
A D A
Just tell me what you're doing it for.
[Chorus]
F#m A
Oh, it's a little bit of everything,
F#m C#m
It's the mountains, it's the fog,
D A
It's the news at six o'clock,
E6sus4 G7
It's the death of my first dog.
A D
It's the angels up above me,
A A/G# F#m
It's the song that they don't sing,
E6sus4 G7 A
It's a little bit of everything.
[Verse]
A D A
There's an older man who stands in a buffet line,
E6sus4 G7 A
He is smiling and he's holding out his plate,
F#m G6sus4 D
And the further he looks back into his timeline,
A D A
That hard road always led him to today.
A D A
Making up for when his bright future had left him,
E6sus4 G7 A
Making up for the fact that his only son is gone,
F#m G6sus4 D
And letting everything out once, his server asks him,
A D A
Have you figured out yet, what it is you want?
[Chorus]
F#m A
I want a little bit of everything,
F#m C#m
The biscuits and the beans,
D A
Whatever helps me to forget about
E6sus4 G7
The things that brought me to my knees.
A D
So pile on those mashed potatoes,
A A/G# F#m
And an extra chicken wing,
E6sus4 G7 A
I'm having a little bit of everything.
[Solo]
[Verse]
A D A
Somewhere a pretty girl is writing invitations,
E6sus4 G7 A
To a wedding she has scheduled for the fall,
F#m G6sus4 D
Her man says, Baby, can I make an observation?
A D A
You don't seem to be having any fun at all.
A D A
She said, You just worry about your groomsmen and your shirt-size,
E6sus4 G7 A
And rest assured that this is making me feel good,
F#m G6sus4 D
I think that love is so much easier than you realize,
A D A
If you can give yourself to someone, then you should.
[Chorus]
F#m A
Cause it's a little bit of everything,
F#m C#m
The way you joke, the way you ache,
D A
It is getting up before you,
E6sus4 G7
So I could watch you as you wake.
A D
So on the day in late September,
A A/G# F#m
It's not some stupid little ring,
E6sus4 G7 A
I'm getting a little bit of everything.
F#m A
Oh, it's a little bit of everything,
F#m C#m
It's the matador and the bull,
D A
It's the suggested daily dosage,
E6sus4 G7
It's the red moon when it's full.
A D
All these psychics and these doctors,
A A/G# F#m
They're all right and they're all wrong,
A D
It's like trying to make out every word,
A F#m
When they should simply hum along.
A D
It's not some message written in the dark,
A A/G# F#m
Or some truth that no one's sees,
E6sus4 G7 A
It's a little bit of everything.
