Every Little Thing 
T-Bone Burnett
capo 2
EmFor every little thing I Amdid to hurt you 
EmFor every little way I mAmade you cry 
EmThere's another line etcAmhed in my face 
Another trace of soB7rrow in mEmy eyes 
For every careless word you spoke against me 
For every time I staggered through your lies 
There's another tear stain in your face 
Another trace of anger in your eyes 
Chorus:
        AmMeasuring the angle of tEmhe pain 
        AmTaking all the pleasure Emthat remains 
        AmShadows that follow you 
        InB7to this solitude 
For every little thing I did to hurt you 
For every little way I made you cry 
There's another line etched in my face 
Another trace of sorrow in my eyes 
Chorus:
        Swallowing the bitter and the vain 
        Seeing madness following in train 
        Shadows that threaten when 
        Dancing like skeletons 
For every careless word you spoke against me 
For every time I staggered through your lies 
There's another tear stain in your face 
Another trace of anger in your eyes
Another Amtrace of anB7ger in yEmour eyes (repeat and fade out)

Another trace of sorrow in my eyes

For every careless word you spoke against me

For every time I staggered through your lies

There's another tear stain in your face

Another trace of anger in your eyes

Am B7 Em

Another trace of anger in your eyes (repeat and fade out)
