[Verse]
D Bm
I am an architect
F#m A
Of days that haven't happened yet
D Bm F#m A
I can't believe a month is all it's been
D Bm
You know my paper heart
F#m A
The one I fill with pencil marks
D Bm F#m A
I think I might have gone and inked you in
[Chorus]
G
Little by little, inch by inch
D/F#
We built a yard
A
With a garden in the middle of it
G
It ain't much, but it's a start
D/F#
You got me swaying right along
A
To the song in your heart
G
And a face to call home

A face to call home

You got a face to call home

D Bm
It's so good you didn't see
F#m A
The nervous wreck I used to be
D Bm F#m A
You'd never know a man could feel so small
D Bm F#m A
You never look at me like I'm a liability
D Bm F#m A
I bet you'd think I've never been at all
[Chorus]
G
Little by little, inch by inch

We built a yard
A

I'm talking like all of the time
G
(Maybe I can stay awhile)
Little by little, inch by inch

A lot of vibrato w/delay in this part. Play around with bending certain notes

I am an architect
Of days that haven't happened yet
I can't believe a month is all it's been
You know my paper heart
The one I fill with pencil marks
I think I might have gone and inked you in
Little by little, inch by inch
We built a yard
With a garden in the middle of it
It ain't much, but it's a start
You got me swaying right along
To the song in your heart
And a face to call home
A face to call home
You got a face to call home
It's so good you didn't see
The nervous wreck I used to be
I never thought a man could feel so small
You never look at me like I'm a liability
I bet you'd think I've never been at all
Little by little, inch by inch
We built a yard
With a garden in the middle of it
It ain't much, but it's a start
You got me swaying right along
To the song in your heart
And a face to call home
A face to call home
You got a face to call home
A face to call home
A face to call home
You got a face to call home
Maybe I can stay awhile
Maybe I can stay awhile
Maybe I can stay awhile
I'm talking like all of the time
Maybe I can stay awhile
Little by little, inch by inch
We built a yard
With a garden in the middle of it
It ain't much, but it's a start
You got me swaying right along
To the song in your heart
And a face to call home
A face to call home
You got a face to call home
