[Verse]
G C G
With his back against the San Francisco traffic
D6sus4 G7 G
On the bridges side that faces towards the jail
Em G6sus4 C
Setting out to join a demographic,
G C G
He hoists his first leg up over the rail.
G C G
E phone call's made, police cars show up quickly.
D6sus4 G7 G
The sergeant slams his passenger door.
Em G6sus4 C
He says, Hey son why don't you talk through this with me,
G C G
Just tell me what you're doing it for.
[Chorus]
Em G
Oh, it's a little bit of everything,
Em Bm
It's the mountains, it's the fog,
C G
It's the news at six o'clock,
D6sus4 G7
It's the death of my first dog.
G C
It's the angels up above me,
G G/F# Em
It's the song that they don't sing,
D6sus4 G7 G
It's a little bit of everything.
[Verse]
G C G
There's an older man who stands in a buffet line,
D6sus4 G7 G
He is smiling and he's holding out his plate,
Em G6sus4 C
And the further he looks back into his timeline,
G C G
That hard road always led him to today.
G C G
Making up for when his bright future had left him,
D6sus4 G7 G
Making up for the fact that his only son is gone,
Em G6sus4 C
And letting everything out once, his server asks him,
G C G
Have you figured out yet, what it is you want?
[Chorus]
Em G
I want a little bit of everything,
Em Bm
The biscuits and the beans,
C G
Whatever helps me to forget about
D6sus4 G7
The things that brought me to my knees.
G C
So pile on those mashed potatoes,
G G/F# Em
And an extra chicken wing,
D6sus4 G7 G
I'm having a little bit of everything.
[Solo]
[Verse]
G C G
Somewhere a pretty girl is writing invitations,
D6sus4 G7 G
To a wedding she has scheduled for the fall,
Em G6sus4 C
Her man says, Baby, can I make an observation?
G C G
You don't seem to be having any fun at all.
G C G
She said, You just worry about your groomsmen and your shirt-size,
D6sus4 G7 G
And rest assured that this is making me feel good,
Em G6sus4 C
I think that love is so much easier than you realize,
G C G
If you can give yourself to someone, then you should.
[Chorus]
Em G
Cause it's a little bit of everything,
Em Bm
The way you joke, the way you ache,
C G
It is getting up before you,
D6sus4 G7
So I could watch you as you wake.
G C
So on the day in late September,
G G/F# Em
It's not some stupid little ring,
D6sus4 G7 G
I'm getting a little bit of everything.
Em G
Oh, it's a little bit of everything,
Em Bm
It's the matador and the bull,
C G
It's the suggested daily dosage,
D6sus4 G7
It's the red moon when it's full.
G C
All these psychics and these doctors,
G G/F# Em
They're all right and they're all wrong,
G C
It's like trying to make out every word,
G Em
When they should simply hum along.
G C
It's not some message written in the dark,
G G/F# Em
Or some truth that no one's sees,
D6sus4 G7 G
It's a little bit of everything.
