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
