CAPO: 1st Fret
[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
I don’t know much of FanyCthing
Don’t remember Gwhat I Cknow
Don’t know how to Fsay Cthings
Don’t know how to Glet myCself go
Rain in the Amroad G  
And the cars splashing AmthroughG  
The storm is unAmfoldingG  
And I don’t know what to AmdoG  
[Chorus]
But the world’s a big AmplaceG  
And my house is Amsmall G  
Hard to make Amsense of it anyGway
[Verse 2]
CTry to be FhonCest
Try to be GtrueC  
Don’t try to be FspeCcial
Just sort of Gnew C  
Try not to Amsound Glike
Another man’s Amsong G  
This isn’t AmeasGy
This takes so AmlongG  
[Chorus]
But the world’s a big AmplaceG  
And my house is Amsmall G  
Hard to make Amsense of it anyGway
[Verse 3]
CThis leads me to FnoCtice
Dust on the Gdesk C  
The windows are FgriCmy
The kitchen’s a Gmess C  
There are papers all AmoveGr
Nothing fits AmtightG  
I don’t know how to Amdo Gthis
I don’t know how to AmwriteG  
[Chorus]
But the world’s a big AmplaceG  
And my house is Amsmall G  
Hard to keep it Amclean anyGway
[Bridge]
My Fhouse, my Chouse, my Ghouse
Some Fwalls, a Croof, some Gdoors
Some Flove, some Clight, some Gwars
I will Fgive you my Chouse for a Gsong
I will give F)you this Csong for my Ghouse
[Verse 4]
CThere’s thunder aFbove Cus
And lighting sparks Gfly C  
The storm is so FendCless
Maybe god will come Gby C  
Meanwhile I’m AmsingGing
And the air fills with AmrainG  
I’m saying AmsomeGthing
Neither perfect nor Amplain G  
[Chorus]
But the world’s a big AmplaceG  
And my house is Amsmall G  
Hard to make Amsense of it anyGway
