Okkervil River – Get Big (Guitar)

G                                       
Once we get to the end 

     C
of this song,

        Em             D
then it will begin again.

   G                                                             
So you said, in our bed

               C 
I was watching light slip

        Em                 D
through the blinds to find your skin.

        G          F
So take your medicine,

            C
and I won't ask where you've been.

         G           F
Live your lost weekend.

              C
I know you've wanted it.

Am          D
Get big, little kid.

G
And I can't say why each day

        C             Em
doesn't quite fit the space

          D
we saved for it.

            G
But if that space now demands

         C                 Em
that you throw up both your hands,

              D
that you call it quits...

          G         F
Take your midnight trip

               C
I know you've dreamed of it.

          G      F
Walk your sunset strip,

                       C
because I think you've needed it

Am           D
to get big, little kid.

              C         G
But just remember that our love

      Am
only got this good

Em               Am
because of some younger days

        C              D
that you like to outstrip.

      C
So drink your cup down

G
to the dregs and leave

           Em
that club on shaking legs

      Am
with another guy,

         C            D
but just remember: I'm not him.

          G     F              C
Take your medicine and I won't ask

          G         F
Live your lost weekend,

               C
because I know you've wanted it

Am            D
to get big, little kid.

            G                       C
And once we get to the end of this song,

      Em            D
then another will begin.
