Capo on 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, 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) 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, (ending verse) G There's a little café on the corner of town, G Lucy works there till the sun goes down, C G She don't sweat the small stuff,
