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
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
D/F# A
A face to call home
G D/F# A
You got a face to call home
D Bm D F#m A
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
G
Little by little, inch by inch
D/F#
We built a yard
A
With a garden in the middle of it

A face to call home

You got a face to call home

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