The Big Game

Bb Eb Bb


[Verse 1]
Eb                     Bb
There’s a bible on the floor
Eb           F                     Bb        Gm
There’s an empty vodka bottle in my underwear drawer
Eb     F                Bb            Gm
Chin up child, oh what a life you have ahead
Eb                      F                 Eb           Gm            Gsus
That’s what they’re all saying if i could only find my head
Eb                  F             Bb   F   Gm
Is it missing is it hiding was it ever there
Eb                 F            Bb              Gm
Has its power been obstructed by pretending not to care


[Pre-Chorus]
Eb              F
I don’t know but i’m anxious
Bb                      Eb        Gm
And I know that i’m not ready
Eb                        Gm           G
And I don’t know how much longer I can wait


[Chorus]
Eb        F             Bb            Gm
Chaos and confusion are so bittersweet
Eb          F                  Bb         Gm
90 years of living and you might never feel complete
Eb                F      Gm
But the search is on and i’m not too strong
Eb                   F               Gm
And the weather will weather my thin skin
Eb            F                 Bb       Gm
I’ll live for tomorrow and I’ll live for you
Eb               F             Bb                 Gm
I’ll sing to the stars just to thank them for the moon
Eb                F              Bb       Gm
And a shoulder to rest on at the break of dawn
Eb                      F            G
And my laughter will be tainted with sin
Eb                  F    Bb               Gm
Because contrary to what they tell you to do
Bb            F                    Bb
I’ll never be playing this game to win

Eb Bb


[Verse 2]
       Cm      Bb
I’m a walking bridge burner
    Eb          F              Bb         Gm
The soles of my shoes they are laced with kerosene
Eb            F      Bb            Gm
Endings don’t always breed possibilities
Eb
I’ll surely learn it one day
Bb             Gm
But for now just let me be
        Eb
Now I’m alone
        F
and I’m anxious
       Bb               Gm
And I know that I’m not ready
      Eb                  F            Gm  G
But I don’t know how much longer i can wait


[Chorus]
Eb        F             Bb         Gm
Chaos and confusion are so bittersweet
Eb          F                    Bb         Gm
90 years of living and you might never feel complete
Eb                 F         Bb          Gm
But the search is on and i’m getting strong
  Eb                   F               Gm
I won't let the weather weather my thin skin
     Eb       F            Bb           Gm
I’ll live for tomorrow and I’ll live for you
     C           F             Bb                 Gm
I’ll sing to the stars just to thank them for the moon
      Gm   Eb            F      Bb        Gm
And a shoulder to rest on at the break of dawn
       Eb                   F        Gm
And my laughter will be tainted with sin
        Eb          F         Bb          Gm
Because contrary to what they tell you to do
     Eb       F                    Bb
I’ll never be playing this game to win
     Eb       F            Bb      Eb
I’ll never be playing this game to win
