Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Am][Em][G][D][C][Am][Em][G][D]
[C]

[Verse 1]
So I find out what [Am]the
luxury of hate [Em]is
As ex[G]citing maybe [D]as
doing [C]the dishes
Face toward window,
[Am]light receiv[Em]ed[G][D]
[C]You walk away to see a f[Am]ilm
See some people see a man
[Em]Stab in throat twist in gut [D]all too clear
Not too [C]new, all been done before
[Am]Planet breathes exhaustion
Staggers [Em]on
Enemy anger impotent [D]gun grease
Too many thoughts
Too [C]dogshit tired
One small step [Am]for freedom
From foregone conclu[Em]sion
[D][Eb]

[Verse 2]
You get bigger as [Em]you go
No one told me, I just [F]know
Bales of memory like boats in [G]tow
You get bigger as you [Bm]go

[Interlude 1]
[F#m][D][Eb]

[Verse 3]
You get bigger as you [Em]go
Spent all day afraid [F]to talk
Redneck children laugh out [G]loud

[Interlude 2]
I being target live and walk
[Bm][F#m][D]
[C][Am][Em][D][C][Am]
[Em][D][Eb]

[Verse 4]
You get bigger as you [Em]go
Telephone snarls,
'don't touch [F]me'
You move in waves like the midnight [G]blues

[Verse 5]
You vector of this weird dis-ease
[Bm]You [F#m]You[D][Eb]
get bigger as [Em]you go
News reruns, dawn comes [F]rainbow
Pain takes shape of grimy win[G]dow
You get bigger as you [Bm]go

[Outro 1]
[F#m][D][Bm]
[F#m][D][Bm][F#m][D]
[Bm][F#m][D]
