Verse 1:

[Gm] Is a small town.
[Cm] They think so small,
They use small [Gm]words.
But not [C7]me;
I'm smarter than that,
[Gm] I worked it out.
[Cm] I've been stretching my mouth,
To let those [Gm]big words come right out.
I've had e[C7]nough, I'm getting out,
To the [Gm]city, the big, big city.
[Cm] I'll be a big noise,
With all the big boys,
[Gm] There's so much stuff I will own.
Bridge 1:
[F#] And I will pray to a big God,
[C7] As I kneel in the big church.

Verse 2:
[C7] My parties have,
All the [Gm]big names,
And I greet them,
With the widest [Cm]smile.
Tell them how my life,
Is one big ad-[Gm]venture.
And always they're a[C7]mazed,
When I show them 'round,
My [Gm]house, to my bed.
I had it [Cm]made like,
A mountain range,
With a snow-white [Gm]pillow,
For my big fat head.
Bridge 2:
[F#] And my heaven will,
Be a big heaven,
[C7] And I will walk,
Through the front door.

I've got to [C]make it [F]show, yeah!

[Gm] (Big Time),
My belly is getting bigger,
[Cm] (Big Time),
And my bank account.
[Gm] (Big Time),
Look at my, circumstance,
[Cm] (Big Time),
And the [Bb]bulge in my big big big,
Big big big [Gm]big.
