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.
