Big Man in a Little Suit
Elton John / Bernie Taupin
b-side for the “Recover Your Soul” single (1997)

Bb - Gm - F
Cm - Ab - F

               Bb
Oh I've been staying up nights
Gm				         F
Thinking about a long flight that could take me home
      Cm
Or a slow train rolling
      Ab                   F
Or a big boat floating out there on that lonely ocean

            Bb
I'm not the man I was
            Gm                     F
I guess the dark side lost and the sun broke through
            Cm
I thought I knew it all
           Ab                     F        
I was the next big thing until I thought about you

          Eb               Bb
Oh I was reaching for the stars
        C
When I wasn't even touching you
       Eb         Bb            C
I was lying to myself, I needed no one's help
              F
Thought I was living proof

             Gb
When there's one set of footsteps
Ebm			  Bbm
No one's gonna fill your shoes
         B
Now I'm looking in the mirror
     Ebm           Db
At a big man in a little suit
      Gb            Ebm
I'm a big man in a little suit
      Bbm
It's tight on me, hot on you
         B		     Ebm
It's a short cut but it's a long way home
           Db
When you think you can make it on you own
                  Bbm
You think you're bulletproof
    Gb        Ab
But what you really are
     B		   Db	  Gb
Is a big man in a little suit

Bb - Gm - F
Cm - Ab - F

      Bb
I was part of the chain
  Gm			  F
A face with no name in a place with no soul
      Cm
By a thief in the night
       Ab			    F
I was robbed of the light and left nothing, nothing to hold

      Bb		  Gm 
I've turned my back on a world like that
               F
I want to get back to loving you
        Cm
Give me one more chance
          Ab                     F
Won't you warm the hands of this cold headed fool

Oh I was reaching for the stars
When I wasn't even touching you
I was lying to myself, I needed no one's help
Thought I was living proof

repeat chorus 

Ebm

      Bbm
It's tight on me, hot on you
         B		     Ebm
It's a short cut but it's a long way home
           Db
When you think you can make it on you own
                  Bbm
You think you're bulletproof
    Gb        Ab
But what you really are
     B		   Db	  Gb
Is a big man in a little suit

B             Db     Gb
Big man in a little suit
