A lot of vibrato w/delay in this part. Play around with bending certain notes and
sliding between them. Listen to the song if you want to play the exact solo.

[Lyrics]
(1) + (intro lead)
(1) I am an architect
Of days that haven't happened yet
I can't believe a month is all it's been
You know my paper heart
The one I filled with pencil marks
I think I might've gone and inked you in
(2) Little by little, inch by inch
We built a yard with a garden in the middle of it
It ain't much but it's a start
You got me swaying right along to the song in your heart
And a face to call home
A face to call home
You got a face to call home
(1) + (intro lead)
(1) So good you didn't see
The nervous wreck I used to be
You'd never know a man could feel so small
And you never look at me
Like I'm a liability
I bet you think I've never been at all
(2) Little by little, inch by inch
We built a yard with a garden in the middle of it
And it ain't much, but it's a start
You got me swaying right along to the song in your heart
And a face to call home
A face to call home
You got a face to call home
A face to call home
A face to call home
You got a face to call home
(Solo) + (Keep playing part 2 till end)
Maybe I could stay a while
Maybe I could stay a while
Maybe I could stay a while
I'm talkin' like all of the time
(Maybe I could stay a while)
Little by little, inch by inch
(Maybe I could stay a while)
We built a yard with a garden in the middle of it
(Maybe I could stay a while)
And it ain't much, but it's a start
(I'm talkin' like all of the time)
You got me swaying right along to the song in your heart
And a face to call home
A face to call home
You got a face to call home
