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
