Bigger Than My Body

John Mayer

Tom: D

E
E7                     E
 This is a call to the colorblind
E9
 This is an IOU
E7                   E
 Stranded behind a horizon line
E9
 Try to be something true

E
 Yes, I'm grounded
D
 Got my wings clipped
C#m
 I'm surrounded by
A
 All this pavement
E
 Guess I'll circle
D
 While I'm waiting
A9
 For my fuse to dry

  (Chorus:)
              C#m
 Someday I'll fly
          E         A ou A9
 Someday I'll soar
              C#m
 Someday I'll be
      E           A ou A9
 So damn much more
          C#m            E
 Cause I'm bigger than my body
            A ou A9
 Gives me credit for

E7                 E
 Why is it not the time?
E9
 What is there more to learn?
E7                             E
 I've shed this skin I've been tripping in
E9
 And I've never quite returned

E
 Yes, I'm grounded
D
 Got my wings clipped
C#m
 I'm surrounded by
A
 All this pavement
E
 Guess I'll circle
D
 While I'm waiting
A9
 For my fuse to dry

 (Chorus)

           C#m            E    D
 Cause I'm bigger than my body now

 F  G       Em     F                    G   Em   F
 Maybe I'll tangle in the power lines
               F  G   Em F               G   Em   F
 And it might be over in a second's time
          F  G        Em       F
 But I'll gladly go down in a flame

 If the flame's what it takes to remember my name

 To remember my name, oh

E
 Yes, I'm grounded
D
 Got my wings clipped
C#m
 I'm surrounded by
A
 All this pavement
E
 Guess I'll circle
D
 While I'm waiting
A9
 For my fuse to dry

 (Chorus)

 Cause I'm bigger than my body
 Bigger than my body
 Bigger than my body now
