Big Man chords

[E]Well I bit on my lip, and I kicked at my toes
[E]No, I don't need your lecture cause your lecture won't show
That you to[D]ld me so I [A]told you s[E]o
[E]But I would have managed, I would have been fine
[E]I'd do it myself and I'd do it just my way,
I'm [D]a big man for [A]thinking just s[E]o.

[A]But somebody told me that your mother was[E] born
[A]Oh a wandering woman with a spirit so s[E]worn of the riverside
[A]And it never surprised me but it me[B]ant that my[E] love was immobilized [A]
Well, it [B]meant that my lo[E]ve was immobil[A]ized
Cause when [D]it comes, it come[A]s when it does. [E]

[E]But you came in the middle and you fell in my hands
[E]Oh a, wonderful woman and an average man.
See tha[D]t makes me the [A]lucky man [E]
[E]I won't be deserving, but I won't be denied
[E]See, I fell in this position, I will still teach my kids pride
Because[D] failure's a [A]part of it [E]all
And if fa[D]ilure don't hurt then fa[A]ilure don't work at a[E]ll

[A]But somebody told me, our nephew was born [E]
[A]Oh, a beautiful baby, so smart and so [E]sure of his little self
[A]And in a wonderful way he was m[B]aking me feel[E] so small [A]
Was [B]making m[E]e feel so s[A]mall,
Was [B]making me[E] feel so smal[A]l.
And I[D] don't think I'v[A]e felt this [E]before.

In[A] all the reasons to [E]come, well they over[A]ride my body and,
I point to th[E]e sun, cause where it's w[A]arm is where the wilderness grows [E]
And it grows, and it grows 'till[A] it all becomes nothing
And not[A]hing is left as [E]you know.

(We [A]walked it for a thousand years, with [E]broken eyes and salted ears
Compl[A]aining 'bout the weather like we ever had a [E]choice.
Through al[A]l the noise and self abuse, you waite[E]d for your fill of truth
Oh I'm[A] terrified I'll achieve nothing at all.) [E]
