 Staple It Together- Jack Johnson
(verse 1)
It's reallAmy  too badD.
He became a pris - Am'ner of his own Dpast
He stabbed the mom Am- ent in the back with Da round thumbtack
That held  Amup the list of Dthing he got to do
It's really  Amno goodD  
He's moving Amon before he under - Dstood
He shot the fu Am- ture in the foot with ev - D'ry step he took
From the Amplaces he'd seen 'cause he Dforgot to look
(chorus)
Better Amstaple it together and Amcall it bad weather
                      G                             CX 2
Staple it together and call it bad weather
(verse 2)
Well i guess you could say
That he don't even know where to begin
'Cause he looked both ways but he was so afraid
Diggin' deep into the ditch every chance he missed
And the mess he made
'Cause hate is such a strong word
And every brick he laid, a mistake
They say that his walls are getting taller,his world is getting smaller
(repeat chorus)
(repeat verse 1)
(repeat chorus)
(outro)
If the Amweather gets better we Dshould get together
GSpend a little time or we Ccould do whatever
And Amif we get together we'd Dbe twice as clever
So Gstaple it together and Ccall it bad weather.
Peace

Am D

That held up the list of thing he got to do

Am D

It's really no good

Am D

He's moving on before he under - stood

Am D

He shot the fu - ture in the foot with ev - 'ry step he took

Am D

From the places he'd seen 'cause he forgot to look

(chorus)

Am Am

Staple it together and call it bad weather

(verse 2)

Well i guess you could say

That he don't even know where to begin

'Cause he looked both ways but he was so afraid

Diggin' deep into the ditch every chance he missed

And the mess he made

'Cause hate is such a strong word

And every brick he laid, a mistake

They say that his walls are getting taller,his world is getting smaller

(repeat chorus)

(repeat verse 1)

(repeat chorus)

(outro)

Am D

If the weather gets better we should get together

G C

Spend a little time or we could do whatever

Am D

And if we get together we'd be twice as clever

G C

So staple it together and call it bad weather.
