[Intro]
Em
[Verse 1]
Em
Half washed off sidewalk chalk
Little blurry memory blocks
D
this conscious mind forgot
Em
but he's still getting caught
C
in the sting of daddy's belt
Em
Terrified of himself
F#m B Em
and passing down this hell of Little Memories
[Chorus]
G
With so many little people
Em
having big things to do
C
There is bound to be one of them
F#m B
looking up to you
G
to be all their glitter and the glue sticks
Em
and their color-in' books
C
there's a story being written
F#m B
when you take a closer look
Am
This is more than just a moment
D B
so be careful how you treat
D Em
your little memories
[Verse 2]
Am Em
Spit and shine
G
all the time
Em
pickled watermelon rhines
D
a girl has to be southern as
Em
Mama wants everything just right
C
She can never measure up
Em
to Mama just the way she was
F#m B
in less than picture perfect
Em
little memories
[Chorus]
G
With so many little people
Em
having big things to do
Am C
There is bound to be one of them
F#m B
looking up to you
G
beyond their glitter and the glue sticks
Em
and their color-in' books
C
there's a story being written
F#m B
when you take a closer look
Am
This is more than just a moment
B
so be careful how you treat
D B Em
your little memories
[Instrumental]
G Em B Em
[Bridge]
Em D
Oh the apple's gotta roll off a little
Em
fallin' from its tree
D Em
In order to escape the cycle of disease
C
So go on Keep on
F#m B C B Am D G
Roll until your free Roll until your free ee eeee ee eeee
[Chorus]
G
With so many little people
Em
having big things to do
C
Remember not that long ago
F#m B
that you were little too
G
beyond their glitter and the glue sticks
Em
and their color-in' books
C
there's a story being written
F#m B
when you take a closer look
Am
This is more than just a moment
B
so be careful how you treat
D Em
your little memories
[Outro]
Am B Em
