[Verse]
D
Strolling throught he playgroung
       A
in the sunshine
C
Curling up with a good
        A
book at night

D
Cherishing each hour
         A
Slowing down to smell the flowers
        C
Soaking up the world with all its
            A
sounds and sights

D
Staring at the sunrise
         A
in the back porch
C
Holding a warm coffee
         A
in your hand


D
Having an ice cream cone or
       A
doing ninety in a school zone
       C
Walking on the beach your
                  A
bare feet in the sand

[Chorus]
D
Look around and you will see
         Bm
there's countless opportunities
    C
to save yourself
                        A
when stress is running rife
Bm
If you have an open mind
     C
then I believe that you may find
     D
the joy in all
     A                D
the little things in life

[Verse]
D
Lighting scented candles
            A
on a rainy day
C
Making puppets with
          A
week old roadkill

D
Things don't get much better
        A
than a warm and cozy sweater
           C
or chewing up a massive handful
           A
of random pills

D
Swapping old folks' blood
                A
thinners with tic-tacs
C
Watching as their left halves
         A
start to droop

D
Playing a nice games of cards
             A
or slipping acid to retards
               C
and screaming till their pants
              A
fill up with poop

[Chorus]
D
Look around and you will see
         Bm
there's countless opportunities
    C
to save yourself
                        A
when stress is running rife

Bm
if you have and open mind
     C
then I believe that you may find
     D               A
the joy in all the little things
     D
in life

[Verse]
D
Punting piss-filled puppies
          A
off the overpass
C
laughing as they splatter
        A
on the road

D
You can say what you will
         A
I won't care because I will still
           C
think baseball's a lot more fun
                   A
when the ball's a toad

D
Kicking toddlers into
             A
open storm drains
C
feeding babies paint
             A
made out of lead

D
Why should you be sheltered
              A
when you can give birds alka-seltzer
               C
and watch them pop like fireworks
            A
above your head

D
Chaining old stray cats up
         A
to the chimney
C
Gouging out their eyes
              A
with a melon scoop

D
Yeah life is so much sweeter
             A
when you're using an egg beater
            C
to turn a pregnant woman's child
       A
into soup

[Chorus]
D
So just believe and reach real far
      Bm
like razor blades on monkey bars
           C
there's a million different uses
        A
for a knife

Bm
Make moments to remember
               C
like each bloodstain on my fender
            D               A
that's the joy in all the little things
    D
in life
