Standard (EADGBE)
Verse 1
You can blame it on the small things
You can blame it on your heartbeat
The wrong day
You can blame it on your regrets
And all your little secrets
You keep them
You can show me all your old scars
That you got from all the old wars
Pre-chorus
You fought so you could tell me
"I'm not the one who needs the saving"
Chorus
You can say what you want but it's only getting better
It's alright, oh baby it's alright
You can try to deny but it's only getting better
It's alright, oh baby it's alright now
You think it feels right but you don't know
You've got everything you wanted but you're not sure
You can say what you please if it's all that you need
To believe it's getting better, you can blame it on me
Verse 2
[same chords as verse 1]
There's a million ways to hold on
To everything that goes wrong, the sad songs
Oh but all these different reasons
Are just a million different ways to say the same old thing
Prechorus
[same chords as prechorus before]
Now tell me, "I'm not the one who needs the saving"
Chorus
Bridge
, , 2x
You can blame it on me
You can blame it on me
You can blame it on me
hold
You can blame it on the small things
