[Intro]
Cmaj7  Gmaj7  Cmaj7  Gmaj7

[Verse 1]
Cmaj7
How would you have
    Gmaj7
 me described
     Cmaj7
With light
With words you think
      Gmaj7
that I'd like
   Cmaj7
If I found out that
   Gmaj7
 I could fight
      Cmaj7
Would I take you
     Gmaj7
out tonight
[Chorus]
             Cmaj7
A little bit more
Cmaj7
A little bit less
                Gmaj7
A little bit harder than
 I thought they said
             Cmaj7
A little bit fine
Cmaj7
A little bit stressed
                   Gmaj7
A little bit older than
I thought I'd get
    Am7
But I
I think I like this
             Cmaj7
 little life
                Gmaj7
This little life
I think I like this
         Cmaj7
 little life
                  Gmaj7
This silly little life

[Verse 2]
Cmaj7             Gmaj7
Eyes smiling over candles
           Cmaj7
Mismatched chairs
Arms crossing where
       Gmaj7
those hands go
   Cmaj7
It's loud but that
             Gmaj7
volume make my heart glow
    Cmaj7
And time isn't real
        Gmaj7
as the sun goes

[Chorus]
          Cmaj7
A little bit more
Cmaj7
A little bit less
             Gmaj7
A little bit harder
than I thought they said
             Cmaj7
A little bit fine
Cmaj7
A little bit stressed
             Gmaj7
A little bit older
 than I thought I'd get
Am7  Cmaj7
But I

I think I like this
            Cmaj7
 little life
               Gmaj7
Coming up short

[Verse 3]
Never quite knowing
         Cmaj7
 what for
Being a lost cause
    Gmaj7
all the same
Cmaj7          Gmaj7
You and I both
I look in those eyes
        Cmaj7
 and I know
Cmaj7
That nothing is sure
    Am7
But I don't know if
 that hurts me anymore

[Chorus]
             Cmaj7
A little bit more
N.C.
A little bit less
             Gmaj7
A little bit harder
than I thought they said
             Cmaj7
A little bit fine
Cmaj7
A little bit stressed
         Gmaj7
A little bit older than
I thought I'd get
    Am7
But I
     Cmaj7
Yeah I
     Amaj7
Yeah I

[Outro]
I think I like this
            Cmaj7
 little life
                Gmaj7
This little life
I think I like this
        Cmaj7
 little life
                  Gmaj7
This silly little life
