D#/G       G#            Cm   A#
Save your money on the roses, baby
D#/G          G#            Cm  A#
Just leave a daisy on the dashboard
D#/G         G#                Cm   A#
Just pick me up in your old Bronco, baby
D#/G         G#             Cm   A#
Don't gotta ride in on a white horse

             D#/G         G#          Cm          A#
When you're younger they say it's a kiss in the rain
              D#/G   G#    Cm A#
Throwing rocks at a window

Chorus:
    D#/G       G#                        Cm       A#
But it's when we're in a crowded room, put your hand on my back
D#/G        G#                Cm           A#
And waiting on me in the morning with my coffee black
 D#/G        G#                     Cm               A#
Back to the basics 'cause they're bigger than they seem, yeah
 D#/G         G#               Cm             A#          D#/G  G#
Give me that typical, simple love, it's the little things
 Cm             A#          D#/G G#
Yeah, it's the little things
Cm        A#
It's the little things

It's knowin' when you need to pull me closer
And when you need to give me my space
It's wine and vinyl, my head on your shoulder
Don't gotta treat it like a first date

Used to think it would be a backseat sex scene
Drawin' hearts on the window, mm, but

Chorus:
It's when we're in a crowded room, put your hand on my back
And waitin' on me in the morning with my coffee black
Back to the basics 'cause they're bigger than they seem, yeah
(Bigger than they seem, yeah)
Give me that typical, simple love,
it's the little things, mm, mm-mm
Yeah, it's the little things (Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah)

D#/G G#
Ooh
Cm             A#  D#/G G#
It ain't grandiose
             Cm               A#
Just pull me in and kiss me slow
D#/G G#
Ooh
Cm                  A# D#/G G#
It ain't just for show
              Cm                 A#
Let's not go big, let's just go home

Chorus:
It's when we're in a crowded room, put your hand on my back
And waitin' on me in the morning with my coffee black
Back to the basics 'cause they're bigger than they seem, yeah
Give me that typical, simple love, ooh, it's the little things
When I go drinkin' with the girls and you leave on the light
The way you get me laughin' in the middle of a fight
Back to the basics 'cause they're bigger than they seem, yeah
(Bigger than they seem, yeah)
Give me that typical, simple love, it's the little things

Yeah, it's the little (It's the little), the little things
Yeah, it's the little, yeah, it's the little things
