Okkervil River - " Get Big"
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
where you've been.
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.
