Big Time

Intro: 
G C 

 
G 
 If I only coulda realized 

Before the memories crystallized 
C                         Cmaj7 
 There was something more to a night 

I'll tell you what I know 

G 
 Everything has got a sacrifice 

Even winning is a compromise 
Cmaj7 
 If you wanna live a happy life 

Don't let the good ones go 

 
G 
Unrequited valentines 

The best of fruit left on the vine 
    Cmaj7 
And all these things I can't deny 

I'm certified 
 

 
      G 
I was big time, wasn't I? 
          Em 
All these big time people comin' by 
           C 
But it was right there all the while 
            G 
You were my big time 
D      Am 
Oh oh, whoa, we were big time 
D 
Oh, and where the hell was I?

When we were big time

 Only so much time in a day 
Gmaj7 
 I mighta thrown a lot of it away

 Before I die I know I'll think about 

Our love, your smile, your way

Absence, lies, and alibis 

Rented rooms and borrowed time

And all these things I can't deny 
C 
I'm certified
