Okkervil River - " Get Big"
From "Black Sheep Boy"
chords by Shimon (simonhochbergmusic@gmail.com)
G
Once we get to the end
C
of this song,
EmD
then it will begin again.
G
So you said, in our bed
C
I was watching light slip
EmD
through the blinds to find your skin.
GF
So take your medicine,
C
and I won't ask where you've been.
GF
Live your lost weekend.
C
I know you've wanted it.
AmD
Get big, little kid.
G
And I can't say why each day
CEm
doesn't quite fit the space
D
we saved for it.
G
But if that space now demands
CEm
that you throw up both your hands,
D
that you call it quits...
GF
Take your midnight trip
C
I know you've dreamed of it.
GF
Walk your sunset strip,
C
because I think you've needed it
AmD
to get big, little kid.
CG
But just remember that our love
Am
only got this good
EmAm
because of some younger days
CD
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,
CD
but just remember: I'm not him.

Take your medicine and I won't ask
where you've been.
GF
Live your lost weekend,
C
because I know you've wanted it
AmD
to get big, little kid.
GC
And once we get to the end of this song,
EmD
then another will begin.
