D A/C# Bm A
…………….
[Verse 1]
D
..It’s bunk beds and matchin’ sheets
A/C#
….Sharin’ the bathroom sink
Bm A
..Fist fightin’ over window seats all the way to KOA
D
..It’s more cousins than we have friends
A/C#
A piggyback pyramid to fit us all in
Bm A
..And squintin’ through a Polaroid lens on Thanksgiving Day
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm G
..We learned how to ration apple pie
Bm A
..And how to dirty dance when Aunt Tina had too much wine
[Chorus]
D Em
It’s all husbands and ex-wives and boyfriends and pink lines
G A
And the word of God according to who’s preachin’ in the living room
D
It’s secrets and suppers
Em
Lookin’ more like your mother
G
All in a little house in a little town
A D A/C#
..But ain’t nothin’ small about big family
[Verse 2]
D
..It’s “Hurry up and wait your turn” and
A/C#
….Eat it all even if it’s burned and
Bm A
..Don’t take too long to learn that the world don’t revolve around you
D
We’re a picture frame patchwork
A/C#
….Roots tangled in the same dirt
Bm
..Little baggage, little hard work
G
..It’s all worth its weight
[Chorus]
D Em
It’s all husbands and ex-wives and boyfriends and pink lines
G A
And the word of God according to who’s preachin’ in the living room
D
It’s secrets and suppers
Em
Lookin’ more like your mother
G
All in a little house in a little town
A D
..But ain’t nothin’ small about big family
A/C# G A
Ooh, big family
[Instrumental]
D Em G A
………….
[Chorus 2]
D
We’re thick-skinned and stubborn
Em
Till the day we’re six feet under
G A
It’s the word of God according to who’s preachin’ in the living room
D
It’s secrets and suppers
Em
Lookin’ more like your mother
G
All in a little house in a little town
A D
..But ain’t nothin’ small about big family
A/C# Bm A
Ooh, big family, yeah
[Outro]
D A/C# Bm A
……..Big family
D
….
