(verse 1) 
G  
There's a little café on the corner of town, 
G  
Lucy works there till the sun goes down, 
    C                                                      G  
It ain't very much but she brings home the bacon and the bread, 
G  
We've got a mortgage we've paid just a little bit on, 
G  
But it seems like all the money's gone, 
  C                            G  
Before we get a chance to get ahead, 
             C                              G  
But that's small stuff we don't sweat the small stuff, 
 
 
      F       
Why worry about the mortgage and the minimum wage, 
  Am7                                         Am7     G  
Traffic and the taxes and the coming of age  small stuff, 
            F                        
There's a comfort in the knowing that there's a spirit in us, 
Am7                   
Giving us the courage and the wisdom to trust, 
      F                                         Am7   G  
In a love that's so much greater than all this small stuff, 
D                    G  
We don't sweat the small stuff, 
 
 
 
(verse 2) 
G  
There's a little bitty hole in the ceiling above, 
G  
Sometimes rain drips down on our temple of love, 
     C                                               G    
We have to put a pot smack dab in the middle of the bed, 
G  
Somebody hit my car at the diner last night, 
G  
I had to drive it home with one tail light, 
    C                                       G   
And I went out this morning the engine was dead, 
        C                               G  
That's small stuff we don't sweat the small stuff, 
 
 
 
(chorus) 
      F       
Why worry about the mortgage and the minimum wage, 
  Am7                                         Am7     G  
Traffic and the taxes and the coming of age  small stuff, 
            F                        
There's a comfort in the knowing that there's a spirit in us, 
Am7                   
Giving us the courage and the wisdom to trust, 
      F                                         Am7   G  
In a love that's so much greater than all this small stuff, 
D                    G  
We don't sweat the small stuff, 
 
 
 
(ending verse)  
G  
There's a little café on the corner of town, 
G  
Lucy works there till the sun goes down, 
C                     G  
She don't sweat the small stuff,
