Big Man Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Well I bit on my lip,
and I kicked at my toes
No, I don't need your lecture cause
your lecture won't show
That [Bm]you told [G]me so I told [D]you so
But I would have managed,
I would have been fine
I'd do it myself and I'd
do it just my way,
I'm a [Bm]big man [G]for thinking just [D]so.

[Verse 2]
But [G]somebody told me that your mother
[D]was born
Wa-wa-wandering woman [G]woman woman
with a spirit so [D]sworn of the riverside
[G]And it never surprised me but it [A]meant
that my [Bm]love [Em]was imm[G]obilized
Well, it [A]meant that my [Bm]love
[G]was immobilized
Cause when it [C]comes,
[G]it comes [D]when it does.

[Verse 3]
[D]
But you came in the middle
and you fell in my hands
Oh a, wonderful woman and
an average man.
See [Bm]that makes me the luck[G]y m[D]an
I won't be deserving,
but I won't be denied
See, I fell in this position,
I will still teach my kids pride
Because [Bm]failure's a [G]part [D]of it all
And [Bm]if failure don't hurt then
[G]failure don't work [D]at all

[Verse 4]
But [G]somebody told me that your
nephew [D]was born
Oh, a [G]beautiful baby,
so smart and [Bm]so sure [D]of his little self
And in a [G]wonderful way he was
[A]making me [Bm]feel [G]so small
Was [A]making me [Bm]feel [G]so small,
was [A]making me [Bm]feel [G]so small.
And I [C]don't think [G]I've felt
[D]this before.

[Verse 5]
[Bm]In all the [G]reasons to [D]come,
[Bm]well they override my [G]body and,
I point to the [D]sun, cause where [Bm]it's warm
is where the [G]wilderness [D]grows
And it grows, and it grows 'til it
[Bm]all becomes nothing
And [G]nothing is left as you know.

[Verse 6]
[D](We walked it [Bm]for a thousand y[G]ears,
[D]with broken eyes and salted ears
Com[Bm]plaining 'bout [G]the weather like
we ever [D]had a choice.
Through [Bm]all the noise [G]and self abuse,
you [D]waited for your fill [Bm]of truth
Oh I'm terrified I'll [G]achieve [D]nothing at all.)
