Boy & Bear – Big Man (Guitar)

E
Well I bit on my lip, and I kicked at my toes

E
No, I don't need your lecture cause your lecture won't show

          C#m         A         E
That you told me so I told you so

E
But I would have managed, I would have been fine

E
I'd do it myself and I'd do it just my way,

    C#m          A              E
I'm a big man for thinking just so.

A                                              E
But somebody told me that your mother was born

A                                           E
Oh a wandering woman with a spirit so sworn of the riverside

A                          B          C#m                  A
And it never surprised me but it meant that my love was immobilized

       B                  C#m             A
Well, it meant that my love was immobilized 

        D             A                      E
Cause when it comes, it comes when it does.

E
But you came in the middle and you fell in my hands

E
Oh a, wonderful woman and an average man.

           C#m          A          E
See that makes me the lucky man

E
I won't be deserving, but I won't be denied

E
See, I fell in this position, I will still teach my kids pride

           C#m         A        E
Because failure's a part of it all

           C#m               A                     E 
And if failure don't hurt then failure don't work at all

A                                               E
But somebody told me, our nephew was born

A                                            E
Oh, a beautiful baby, so smart and so sure of his little self

A                               B         C#m       A                              
And in a wonderful way he was making me feel so small

      B          C#m     A                   
Was making me feel so small,

       B        C#m       A
Was making me feel so small.

     D                 A         E
And I don't think I've felt this before.

   C#m       A        E              C#m                             A
In all the reasons to come, well they override my body and,

              E                      C#m                     A                 E
I point to the sun, cause where it's warm is where the wilderness grows

                                C#m                        
And it grows, and it grows 'till it all becomes nothing 

         A                     E
And nothing is left as you know.

    C#m                 A                        E
(We walked it for a thousand years, with broken eyes and salted ears

     C#m                    A                      E
Complaining 'bout the weather like we ever had a choice.

            C#m           A                E 
Through all the noise and self abuse, you waited for your fill of truth

      C#m                   A          E 
Oh I'm terrified I'll achieve nothing at all.)
