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
