It's the simple things that mean the most

Especially when your heart's the host

Something like where the cereal is

Or when we share our first kiss
D Em
It can change your life
D Em
It might not make a difference
D Em
But your heart notices
D Em
It in the one you love
(chorus1)
D
Well I ain't seen the lights of Vegas
G
so my baby gave me the window side

I know she's silly and beautiful

That's somethin' she can't hide

She likes to where different socks
G
And she loves the songs I sing
Em
It means a lot.... the simple things

it's the biggest issues that you can put aside

When your on the verge of a giant fight
D
Something with screams and yells

And phrases like 'go to hell'

I always say i'm sorry
D Em
say it's some stupid story
D Em
We love eachother to much
D Em
To let an issue destroy us
(chorus2)
D
Well i hate cream in my coffee
G
So my baby sends it back
D
I know that she won't touch olives

She likes to have kethcup on salad

And she eats anything with cream

It means a lot.... the simple things

And we both know that
