----(capo 1st fret)----
(verse 1)
G
There's a little café on the corner of town,
G
Lucy works there till the sun goes down,
C G
It ain't very much but she brings home the bacon and the bread,
G
We've got a mortgage we've paid just a little bit on,
G
But it seems like all the money's gone,
C G
Before we get a chance to get ahead,
C G
But that's small stuff we don't sweat the small stuff,
[Refrão] F
Why worry about the mortgage and the minimum wage,
Am7 Am7 G
Traffic and the taxes and the coming of age small stuff,
F
There's a comfort in the knowing that there's a spirit in us,
Am7
Giving us the courage and the wisdom to trust,
F Am7 G
In a love that's so much greater than all this small stuff,
D G
We don't sweat the small stuff,
(verse 2)
G
There's a little bitty hole in the ceiling above,
G
Sometimes rain drips down on our temple of love,
C G
We have to put a pot smack dab in the middle of the bed,
G
Somebody hit my car at the diner last night,
G
I had to drive it home with one tail light,
C G
And I went out this morning the engine was dead,
C G
That's small stuff we don't sweat the small stuff,
(chorus)
