LIFE, IN A NUTSHELL - Barenaked Ladies
Standard Tuning, Capo on 3rd Fret
Intro:
D D/F# G x4
Verse 1:
When she was three
Her Barbies always did it on the first date
Now she's with me
There's never any need for them to demonstrate
She's like a baby, I'm like a cat
When we are happy, we both get fat and still
It's never enough, it's never enough, it's never enough.
Prechorus:
So I don't tend to worry 'bout the things that other people say
And I'm learning that I wouldn't want it any other way
Call me crazy but it really doesn't matter
All that matters to me is she
Chorus:
Her life in a nutshell
No way would she want it to
Change me it's not that easy 'cause
My time is often decided for me-
For me
Verse 2:
She memorized every pencil crayon color in the box
Her blue-green eyes complement the burnt sienna in her locks
She's at the movies, I'm on the phone;
When we're separated we're never alone, but still
It's never enough, it's never enough, no it's never enough.
Prechorus:
So I don't tend to worry 'bout the things that other people say
And I'm learning that I wouldn't want it any other way
Call me crazy but it really doesn't matter
All that matters to me is she
Chorus:
Her life in a nutshell
No way would she want it to
Change me it's not that easy 'cause
My time is often decided for me-
For me
Bridge:
Well I fell down with no one there to catch me from falling
Then she came 'round
And only her tenderness
Bm7 (D/B) D/A G A
stopped me from bawling my eyes out, I'm okay
N.C.
And that's why
Chorus:
Her life in a nutshell
No way would she want it to
Change me it's not that easy 'cause
My time is often decided for me-
Prechorus:
(G) A D D/F# G
And I don't tend to worry 'bout the things that other people say
And I'm learning that I wouldn't want it any other way
Call me crazy but it really doesn't matter
All that matters to me is she
Outro:
D D/F# G x4
