Chord Gitar dan Lirik Lagu Life, in a Nutshell Oleh Barenaked Ladies

Recently, someone posted chords for this Barenaked Ladies song from
“Maybe You Should Drive.” It didn’t sound quite right to me, and this is
what I’ve come up with. I play it with a capo on the 5th fret, but only
because it makes it easier to play the subtle adds that Ed throws in
along the way. Any comments are welcome, especially from the person who
made the original post.

LIFE IN A NUTSHELL

(Capo on 5th fret)

Intro: C E F (4x) (that second chord isn’t quite right–the guitar
may just hold on the C major)

When she was three, her Barbies always did it on the [F/E]first date
Now she’s with me, there’s never any need for them to[F/E] demonstrate
She’s like a baby, I’m like a cat
When we are happy we both get [F/E]fat
And still it’s never enough, it’s never enough, it’s never enough

I don’t tend to worry ‘bout the things that other people say
And I’m learning that I wouldn’t want it any other way
Call me crazy but it really doesn’t matter
All that matters to me is she

Her life in a nutshell
No way would she want me to
Change me it’s not that easy ’cause
My time is often decided for me
For me

Same for second verse and chorus

Bridge:
I fell down with no one to catch me from [F/E]falling
She came ‘round
And only her tenderness stopped me from [F/E]bawling my eyes out
I’m okay

And that’s why, etc.
