Verse 1:
D                A
  When she was three
Bm                   G
  Her Barbies always did it on the first date
D                A
  Now she's with me
Bm                   G
  There's never any need for them to demonstrate
D                  A
She's like a baby, I'm like a cat
Bm                    G7               D
When we are happy, we both get fat and still
              A                  Bm                 F#
It's never enough, it's never enough, it's never enough.

G            A              D                   G/F#          G
  So I don't tend to worry 'bout the things that other people say
        A               D                G/F#      G
And I'm learning that I wouldn't want it any other way
        A            D              G/F# 
Call me crazy but it really doesn't matter
         G          A     Bm  A6
All that matters to me is she

Chorus:
D    G/F#   G      A7
Her  life     in a nutshell        
Bm    G/F#   G            A7 
No    way       would she want it to         
D      G/F#   G                A7
Change me        it's not that easy 'cause
Bm    G/F#    G       A7        Bm  A6  G#m7  G
My    time is often decided for me-
    Bm  A6  G#m7  G
For me

Verse 2:
D          A   Bm              G
  She memorized   every pencil crayon color in the box
D                A   Bm                G
  Her blue-green eyes   complement the burnt sienna in her locks
D                    A
She's at the movies, I'm on the phone;
Bm                         G7               D      
When we're separated we're never alone, but still
              A                  Bm                   F#
It's never enough, it's never enough, no it's never enough.

 Em             A7   Bm                      G             G  G/F#
    Well I fell down    with no one there to catch me from falling
 Em                A7
    Then she came 'round
      D        D/C#
  And only her tenderness
  G/B             A7sus      G              A
  stopped me from bawling my eyes out, I'm okay
N.C.
And that's why
