[Intro] B [Verse 1]
                             C#m    F#
Always thought the game came easy

            F#               B
You never thought about it twice

            F#              G#m
You never thought about it twice

                    C#m      F#
Your luck was never leaving

                       B
So you just threw the dice

     F#               G#m   A
And time was on your side

         E               B
Time was always on your side

                                 C#m     F#
But times got tough and life got even

        F#                  B
So you told yourself some lies

        F#                 G#m
So you told yourself some lies

                        C#m         F#
And now you truly do believe that

             F#             B
There's only one way to survive

           F#               G#m
You gotta hold on to your pride
[Chorus]
A             E           B
  Big girls, they don't cry

A            E                  B
  Heart of stone, gone cold as ice

A            E                   B
  Close the door, keep it all inside
[Verse 2]
                                C#m    F#
You trusted love, but love's deceiving

         F#                B
And you know that it's unfair

          F#           G#m
You know love is so unfair

                           C#m      F#
But it hurts the worst, believe me

           F#                B
When you show them that you care

           F#                G#m
So never show them that you care
[Chorus]
A            E          B
 Big girls, they don't cry

A           E                  B
 Heart of stone, gone cold as ice

A          G#m                  A    Amaj7
 Close the door, keep it all inside
[Verse 3]
              F#
Know when to hide

              C#m
Know when to fight

           A
Tell the lies

                F#    D#7
Know how to survive
