C C7 F F
Dm Am Bb Bb
F Bb F F
[Verse]
F Bb F
With his back against the San Francisco traffic
C C7 F
On the bridge's side that faces towards the jail
Dm Am Bb
Setting out to join a demographic
F Bb F
He hoists his first leg up over the rail
F Bb F
And a phone call is made, Police cars show up quickly
C C7 F
The sergeant slams his passenger door
Dm Am Bb
He says, Hey son why don't you talk through this with me
F Bb F
Just tell me what you're doing it for
[Chorus]
Dm F
Oh, it's a little bit of everything
Dm Am
It's the mountains, It's the fog
Dm Bb
It's the news at six o'clock
C C7
It's the death of my first dog
F Bb
It's the angels up above me
F Dm
It's the song that they don't sing
Bb C7 F
It's a little bit of everything
[Verse]
F Bb F
An older man stands in a buffet line
C C7 F
He is smiling and holding out his plate
Dm Am Bb
And the further he looks back in his timeline
F Bb F
That hard road always led him to today
F Bb F
And making up for when his bright future had left him
C C7 F
Making up for the fact that his only son is gone
Dm Am Bb
And letting everything out once, his server asks him
F Bb F
Have you figured out yet what it is you want?
[Chorus]
Dm F
I want a little bit of everything
Dm Am
The biscuits and the beans
Dm Bb
Whatever helps me to forget about
C C7
The things that brought me to my knees
F Bb
So pile on those mashed potatoes
F Dm
And an extra chicken wing
Bb C7 F
I'm having a little bit of everything
[Solo]
F Bb F F
C C7 F F
Dm Am Bb Bb
F Bb F F
[Verse]
F Bb F
Somewhere a pretty girl is writing invitations
C C7 F
To a wedding she has scheduled for the fall
Dm Am Bb
Her man says, baby, can I make an observation?
F Bb F
You don't seem to be having any fun at all
F Bb F
She said you just worry about your groomsmen and your shirt size
C C7 F
And rest assured that this is making me feel good
Dm Am Bb
I think that love is so much easier than you realize
F Bb F
If you can give yourself to someone, then you should
[Chorus]
Dm F
Cause it's a little bit of everything
Dm Am
The way you choke, the way you ache
Dm Bb
It is getting up before you
C C7
So I can watch you as you wake
F Bb
So on the day in late September
F Dm
It's not some stupid little ring
Bb C7 F
I'm giving a little bit of everything
Dm F
Oh, it's a little bit of everything
Dm Am
It's the matador and the bull
Dm Bb
It's the suggested daily dosage
C C7
It is the red moon when its full
F Bb
All these psychics and these doctors,
F Dm
They're all right and they're all wrong
F Bb
It's like trying to make out every word
C C7
When you should simply hum along
F Bb
It's not some message written in the dark
F Dm
Or some truth that no one sees
Bb C7 F
It's a little bit of everything
