Verse 1
We Were DTalking One Night 'Bout The F#m7State Of The World  Em7​
How Some Folks Em7Move Through It Like ASelf-Centered DPricks
Used To Be You Learned It DEarly, F#m7No Big MysterEm7y
Just A Little Common DDamn Sense And A  Basic CourteDsy
Like Saying Please And DThank You, It F#m7Ain't Hard To DoEm7​
A Couple Tiny WorDds, Not A Goddamn APhd For DYou
Funny How The DSmallest Things CF#m7an Change The DEm7ay
And How Something So Damn DSimple GoAes Such A LonDg Way

Pre-Chorus
It Ain't CompliEm7cated
It Doesn't Cost A F#m7Dime
But Somewhere Along The GWay
It Got Hard For Some To DTry
Just A Little KiEm7ndness
A Little DeceF#m7ncy
A Couple Words Can GStill Remind Us
You Ain't The Only AOne You See

Chorus
Say A Little DThank You,F#m7   Say A Little PEm7lease
It Ain't Rocket AScience
It's Basic Goddamn DecDency
Say A Little DThank You, Don't Just F#m7Take Your Shit And LEm7eave
It's A Lost-Ass AArt Now
But It's Not Too Far To ReDach

Post-Chorus
Say A Little Em7Thank You, Mean The Words You ASay
It Takes So Little Em7Effort, And It AGoes A Long DaDmn Way

Verse 2
You Can DHold A Door Or Look SomeF#m7body In The Eye
Em7Act Like Other Human Beings Matter Passing By
But Some Em7People Walk Around Like The World Owes Them Shit
Can't ASpare Two Little Syllables To Keep From Sounding Like A Dick
D  Some Folks Act Like F#m7Manners Are A Bridge Too FEm7ar
Say A Little Em7Thank You, A  It Ain't CompliDcated
But Saying Please And DThank You Ain't Some F#m7Grand Master PEm7lan
It Just Proves You Give A Em7Damn And UnderAstand Your Fellow DMan

Pre-Chorus
We All Feel The Em7Difference
When Somebody F#m7Cares
You Can Hear It In The GTone
You Can Feel It In The AiDr
Something So EEm7asy
It Takes So Little EffortF#m7​
And One Small Bit Of GKindness
Can Change Somebody's AMood

Chorus
Say A Little DThank You,F#m7   Say A Little PEm7lease
It Ain't Rocket AScience
It's Basic Goddamn DecDency
Say A Little DThank You, Don't Just F#m7Take Your Shit And LEm7eave
It's A Lost-Ass AArt Now
But It's Not Too Far To ReDach

Post-Chorus
Oh, Say A Little Em7Thank You, Mean The Words You ASay
It Takes So Little Em7Effort, And It AGoes A Long DaDmn Way

Bridge
It Still DMatters
It Still F#m7Should
A Little Bit Of Em7Kindness

A Little DRespect
A Little F#m7Care
Might Be Em7Rare These Days
But We Can APut It Back Out There

Chorus
