Life, in a Nutshell by Barenaked Ladies Guitar Chords


#——————————————————————————##

Recently, someone posted chords for this Barenaked Ladies song from
“Maybe You Should Drive.” It didn’t sound quite right to me, and this is
what I’ve come up with. I play it with a capo on the 5th fret, but only
because it makes it easier to play the subtle adds that Ed throws in
along the way. Any comments are welcome, especially from the person who
made the original post.

LIFE IN A NUTSHELL

(Capo on 5th fret)

Intro: C E F (4x) (that second chord isn’t quite right–the guitar
may just hold on the C major)

C
When she was
G
three
Am
, her Barbies always
F
did it on the [F/E]first date
C
Now she’s with
G
me,
Am
there’s never any
F
need for them to[F/E] demonstrate
C
She’s like a baby,
G
I’m like a cat
Am
When we are happy we
F
both get [F/E]fat
And
C
still it’s never
G
enough, it’s never
Am
enough, it’s never
E
enough

F
I don’t
G
tend to worry ‘
C
bout the things that
E
other people
F
say
And I’m
G
learning that I
C
wouldn’t want it
E
any other
F
way
Call me
G
crazy but it
C
really doesn’t
E
matter
All that
F
matters to me is
Am
she

C
Her
Am7
life
F
in a
G
nutshell
C
No
Am7
way
F
would she
G
want me to
C
Change
Am7
me
F
it’s not that
G
easy ’cause
C
My
Am7
time is
F
often de
G
cided for
Am
me
G
D
F

For
Am
me
G
D
F

Same for second verse and chorus

Bridge:

Dm
I fell
G
down
Am
with no one to
F
catch me from [F/E]falling
Dm
She came ‘
G
round
And
Am
only her
G
tenderness
F
stopped me from [F/E]bawling my
Dm
eyes out
I’m
G
okay

And that’s why, etc.
