[Intro]
A
(counterpoint riff)
[Verse 1]
E
Everyday things are easy to miss
E
Like jelly for breakfast or a sweet good night kiss
E
times we’re not aware until they are not there
E
Just how much they give us bliss
E
Everyday things can be overlooked
E
Like a ride on a bike or time with a good book
E
The things that we share to show that we care
E
When we slow down and take a look
A
Some days have special meaning but all the days in between
A
Have something to give if each day that we live
A
In the joy of everyday things
(spoken over musical break)
D
What to do when it’s raining
Despite the groundhog shadow it’s nice to know that there’s only one first day of spring
A*
(spoken)
N.C.
So it won’t feel like waiting if we focus on what each day brings

It could be rain or snow as long as we know the we have our everyday things (everyday)
[Chorus 1]
A
We’ve got a song to sing
A
Called the joy of everyday things

It’s about a lot, but really it’s not

If you feel like dancing
A
Make dancing an everyday thing

Let go of control with your body and soul
A
Now we’ve got a bell to ring
D
(spoken)

But when I lay down to sleep they’re always right there with me
N.C.
The sleep at my feet and protect me when I’m having bad dreams
[Verse 2]
I like living with pets, expect when they make a big mess
We have to clean up after those messy pups it’s just something you have to accept
I like doing my chores, though some people think it’s a bore
I vacuum the floors and wipe down the doors and sometimes I wish I could do more (more
chores?)
D
(spoken)

Because it’s nice to have something to look forward to, like seeing our friends

Holidays and birthdays can often be the worst days
N.C.
Special events can be quite intense

like graduations, funerals, or wedding days
My anniversary if I could ever remember when it was
[Bridge]

Everyday things are important to do

Like brushing your teeth or tying your shoes

Sometimes we forget but sticking with it

Is something that we have to choose

I love everyday things

cause you are my everyday thing
A
We can take it slow it’s just how things grow
A
though sometimes I know it's annoying

But spending the day with you
A
Is something I love to do
A
It does not matter what just as long as it’s us
A
And I love that you feel that way too
