Ab


[Verse]
Ab
  Sometimes he lets that boss get
Ab
In his head
Ab
  He can't see passed that mountain
Ab
  Of deadlines on his desk
Ab
  Five o'clock, he's the last one
Ab
Out of the gate
    Ab
And he gets cut off, flipped off, ticked off
Ab
  Out on the interstate
       Db
And he wonders why this world won't
           Eb
Leave him alone
       Db
Til he hears that little voice holler

Daddy's home


[Chorus]
            Bbm
Things that matter
            Ab
Things that don't


[Verse 2]
      Ab
She's held on to that grudge
        Ab
All her life
    Ab
And thirty years of anger
          Ab
Since her dad walked out that night
    Ab
She thinks of all the moments
          Ab
That he's missed
        Ab
All the birthdays, ballets, first dates
         Ab
It seems too much to forget
     Db
She gets that call that said he
          Eb
Don't have  long
    Db
She walks in, he starts crying

The past is gone


[Chorus]
            Bbm
Things that matter
            Ab
Things that don't


[Bridge]
Fm Eb        Db
  Time ain't on our side
Fm            Eb
  Don't wanna leave this world
    Db                         Ebsus4  Eb  Db
With  why didn't I, why didn't I
                 Eb  Db
Yeah, why didn't I


[Verse 3]
    Ab
Sometimes I take on this world
     Ab
By myself
         Ab
Thinking I got all the answers
           Ab
Don't need anybody's help
             Db
When God was right there waiting
            Eb
For me all along
   Db
To fall down on my knees

Surrender all


[Chorus]
            Bbm                 Ab
Things that matter, things that don't
  Bbm             Db            Ab
Things that matter, things that don't
