*****DO NOT ADD STRUMMING PATTERNS TO MY TABS*****
Lori McKenna - The Most
[Verse 1]
My Glife is a grocery store liCne
A “We’ll be just fiEmne”
Don’t know how we surGvive, but we Ddo
[Verse 2]
My Glife is an early spring snCow
The last thread of hoEmpe
That I just keep hGanging onDto
[Chorus]
My Clife is pieces of pGaper that I’ll get back to laDter
I’ll write you a Cstory, how I ended up here
Why the little things Gmake us and how long it Dtakes us
To figure out what Cmatters the most
[Verse 3]
My Glife is a two dollar Cbeer
With Friday nights Emhere
With friends that I’ve Gknown since hiDgh school
[Verse 4]
My Glife is an order to gCo
A rainy car ride back hEmome
And someone you lGove to lay next Dto
[Chorus]
My Clife is pieces of pGaper that I’ll get back to laDter
I’ll write you a Cstory, how I ended up here
Why the little things Gmake us and how long it Dtakes us
To figure out what Cmatters the most
[Bridge]
DSomeday, well, I’ll look back and woCnder
DSomeday, it comes around a little Cquicker than they told you
Asking, “GDid I do, what I was supDposed to do”
In my liGfe
[Instrumental]
G     D   C  D
[Chorus]
Don’t know Cwhy the little things Gmake us and sometimes it Dtakes us
Too damn long to Cfigure out what matters the mostG  D  
[Verse 5]
My Glife is green grass through the snCow
A sweet reckless Emhope
And baby, I knGow what Dmatters the mostG
