A Little Bit of Everything Dawes
CAPO 5
[C]With his back against [F]the san francisco [C]traffic
[Em/G]On the bridges side that faces towards the[C] jail
[Am]Setting out t[G]o join a demographi[F]c,
[C]He hoists his firs[F]t leg up over the r[C]ail.
[C]And a phone call is made, [F]Police cars show up [C]quickly.
[Em/G]The sergeant slams his passenger [C]door.
He says, [Am]Hey son why dont you [G]talk through this [F]with me,
[C]Just tell me what youre[F] doing it f[C]or.
[Am]Oh, its a little bit of e[C]verything,
[Am]Its the mountains, [Em/G]Its the fog,
[Am]Its the news at six oc[C]lock, Its the [G]death of my first dog,
[C]Its the angels up abov[F]e me,
[C]Its the song that they don[Am]t sing,
[Em/G]Its a little [G]bit of everyth[C]ing.
[C]An older man [F]stands in a b[C]uffet line,
[Em/G]He is smiling and holding out his [C]plate,
[Am]And the further he looks [G]back into his [F]timeline,
[C]That hard road always h[F]ad led him to [C]today,
[C]And making up for when his[F] bright future had l[C]eft him,
[Em/G]Making up for the fact that his only son is [C]gone,
And [Am]letting everything out[G] once, His server a[F]sks him,
Have you f[C]igured out yet, [F]what it is you w[C]ant?
[Am]I want a little bit of [C]everything,
[Am]The biscuits and the [Em/G]beans,
Whatever [Am]helps me to fo[C]rget about The things that [G]brought me to my knees,
So pile [C]on those mashed [F]potatoes,
And an [C]extra chicken [Am]wing,
[Em/G]Im having a l[G]ittle bit of [C]everything.
[C]Somewhere a pretty girl is [F]writing [C]invitations,
[Em/G]To a wedding she has scheduled for the [C]fall,
Her man says, [Am]Baby, can I [G]make an o[F]bservation?
[C]You dont seem to be having[F] any fun at a[C]ll.
She said, You[C] just worry about your [F]groomsmen and your s[C]hirt-size,
[Em/G]And rest assured that this is making me feel [C]good,
I think that [Am]love is so much [G]easier than you [F]realize,
[C]If you can give yourself to [F]someone, Then you[C] should.
[Am]Cause its a little bit of [C]everything,
[Am]The way you choke, the way you[Em/G] ache,
It is [Am]waking up before [C]you, So I can [G]watch you as you wake.
So in the [C]day in late [F]September,
Its not some[C] stupid little [Am]ring,
[Em/G]Im giving a [G]little bit of [C]everything.
[Am]Oh, its a little bit of e[C]verything,
[Am]Its the matador and the[Em/G] bull,
Its the [Am]suggested daily d[C]osage, It is the r[G]ed moon when its full.
All these [C]psychics and these [F]doctors,
Theyre all [C]right and theyre all[Am] wrong,
Its like [C]trying to make out [F]every word, When they should [C]simply hum [Am]along,
Its not some [C]message written [F]in the dark,
Or some [C]truth that no ones [Am]seen,
[Em/G]Its a l[G]ittle bit of ev[C]erything.
