[Verse]
It's the sGimple things
Sunshine when the Emforecast's rain
A smile from strangers Con the train
When you Dfeel like death at 8am
It's the Glittle things
See a penny, Empick it up
All day long you'll Chave good luck
I Dheard that in a movie somewhere
[Bridge]
I Emthink it was with John TraA7volta
And in the end, all the Am7good guys won, but
COh-only just or else nobody would watch
[Chorus]
It's the Gsmall things in the end
The little Emthings you least expect
When you hCold yourself together with SDellotape
It's the Gsmall things mean the most
Oh, when you'vEme given up the ghost
And you're Cwondering how much Dmore you've got to Gtake
[Verse]
It's the Glittle things
No-one there when Emyou get home
And thought they're nice, it's good to Cbe alone
So you can Dparty in your underwear
It's the Gsimple things
A message from a Emlong-lost friend
Fifteen minutes 'til you're Cat the end
Of a Dweek that's straight from help
[Bridge]
'Til you're Emsavouring a cold CorA7ona
Am7Coz in the end, all the good guys won, but
COnly after trials and tribulations were done
[Chorus]
It's the Gsmall things in the end
The little Emthings you least expect
When you hCold yourself together with SDellotape
It's the Gsmall things mean the most
Oh, when you'vEme given up the ghost
And you're Cwondering how much Dmore you've got to
[Middle 8]
TEmake a lot, you tDake a lot
You Ctake a lot, you tBmake a lot

[Verse]

It's the simple things

Sunshine when the forecast's rain

A smile from strangers on the train

When you feel like death at 8am

It's the little things

See a penny, pick it up

All day long you'll have good luck

I heard that in a movie somewhere

[Bridge]

Em A7

I think it was with John Travolta

Am7

And in the end, all the good guys won, but

Oh-only just or else nobody would watch

[Chorus]

It's the small things in the end

The little things you least expect

C D

When you hold yourself together with Sellotape

It's the small things mean the most

Oh, when you've given up the ghost

C D G

And you're wondering how much more you've got to take

[Verse]

It's the little things

No-one there when you get home

And thought they're nice, it's good to be alone

So you can party in your underwear

It's the simple things

A message from a long-lost friend

Fifteen minutes 'til you're at the end

Of a week that's straight from help

[Bridge]

Em A7

'Til you're savouring a cold Corona

Am7

Coz in the end, all the good guys won, but

Only after trials and tribulations were done

[Chorus]

It's the small things in the end

The little things you least expect

When you hold yourself together with Sellotape

It's the small things mean the most

Oh, when you've given up the ghost

C D

And you're wondering how much more you've got to

Take a lot, you take a lot

You take a lot, you take a lot

You know you do, ooh-ooh

That pull you through, ooh-ooh

Am7 Cmaj7

They pull you through

[Chorus]

It's the small things in the end

The little things you least expect

When you hold yourself together with Sellotape

It's the small things mean the most

Oh, when you've given up the ghost

C D G

And you're wondering how much more you've got to take

[Outro]

It's the little things

C G D

Oh the little things (little little things now)

That pull you through
