Intro
G Bm7 Am7 (x2)
Verse 1
We were talking one night 'bout the state of the world
How some folks move through it like self-centered pricks
Used to be you learned it early, no big mystery
Just a little common damn sense and basic courtesy
Like saying please and thank you, it ain't hard to do
A couple tiny words, not a goddamn PhD for you
Funny how the smallest things can change the day
And how something so damn simple goes such a long way
Pre-Chorus
It ain't complicated
It doesn't cost a dime
But somewhere along the way
It got hard for some to try
Just a little kindness
A little decency
A couple words can still remind us
You ain't the only one you see
Chorus
N.C. G Bm7 Am7
Say a little thank you, say a little please
It ain't rocket science
It's basic goddamn decency
Say a little thank you, don't just take your shit and leave
It's a lost-ass art now
But it's not too far to reach
Post-Chorus
Say a little thank you, mean the words you say
Am7 D N.C. G
It takes so little effort, and it goes a long damn way
Verse 2
You can hold a door or look somebody in the eye
Act like other human beings matter passing by
But some people walk around like the world owes them shit
D N.C.
Can't spare two little syllables to keep from sounding like a dick
Some folks act like manners are a bridge too far
Say a little thank you, it ain't complicated
But saying please and thank you ain't some grand master plan
It just proves you give a damn and understand your fellow man
Pre-Chorus
We all feel the difference
When somebody cares
You can hear it in the tone
You can feel it in the air
Something so easy
It takes so little effort
And one small bit of kindness
Can change somebody's mood
Chorus
N.C. G Bm7 Am7
Say a little thank you, say a little please
It ain't rocket science
It's basic goddamn decency
Say a little thank you, don't just take your shit and leave
It's a lost-ass art now
But it's not too far to reach
Post-Chorus
Oh, say a little thank you, mean the words you say
Am7 D N.C. G
It takes so little effort, and it goes a long damn way
Bridge
It still matters
It still should
A little bit of kindness
Still does a body good
A little respect
A little care
Might be rare these days
But we can put it back out there
Chorus
N.C. G Bm7 Am7
Say a little thank you, say a little please
It ain't old-fashioned
It's how the hell it oughta be
Say a little thank you, when somebody shows up
This hard-ass world could use
A little more of that stuff
Post-Chorus
Say a little thank you, and now you know why it still matters, it still should
To make somebody feel all right
Outro
So if you wanna leave something good behind
D N.C. G
Start with how you treat folks, one moment at a time
Be fucking nice Woo!
Give a little grace
It ain't that hard
N.C. D
It ain't too late
Be fucking nice
Say a little thank you
Say a little please
N.C. G
It ain't hard to do
