Okkervil River - " Get Big"
From "Black Sheep Boy"
chords by Shimon ([email protected])
[G]Once we get to the end
of th[C]is song,
then it [Em]will begin agai[D]n.
So [G]you said, in our bed
I was watching [C]light slip
through [Em]the blinds to find [D]your skin.
So take [G]your medici[F]ne,
and I won't [C]ask where you've been.
Live your[G] lost weeken[F]d.
I know you've [C]wanted it.
[Am]Get big, lit[D]tle kid.
[G]And I can't say why each day
doesn't [C]quite fit the [Em]space
we saved f[D]or it.
But if that [G]space now demands
that you [C]throw up both your[Em] hands,
that you call [D]it quits...
Take your [G]midnight t[F]rip
I know you've d[C]reamed of it.
Walk your [G]sunset [F]strip,
because I think you've [C]needed it
[Am]to get big, l[D]ittle kid.
But just remem[C]ber that o[G]ur love
only g[Am]ot this good
[Em]because of some y[Am]ounger days
that you[C] like to outstr[D]ip.
So dri[C]nk your cup down
[G]to the dregs and leave
that club o[Em]n shaking legs
with a[Am]nother guy,
but just [C]remember: I'm[D] not him.

[G] [F] [C]
[G] [F] [C]
[Am] [D]
Take your [G]medici[F]ne and I won't [C]ask
where you've been.
Live your [G]lost weeke[F]nd,
because I know [C]you've wanted it
[Am]to get big, li[D]ttle kid.
And once we [G]get to the end of this s[C]ong,
then a[Em]nother will be[D]gin.
