Bigger Picture

F#m  E  D      F#m  E  A D        F#m  E  A       F#m  E  A

        F#m                 E      A
Took an old scrapbook off a closet shelf
F#m                          E     A
Dusted off the cover, dusted off myself
F#m                     E         D
Laid it in my lap and I opened it up
        F#m          E     A
To find who I am and who I was
F#m                    E         A
Wonder Woman cape on a wide eyed girl
F#m                  E          A
Dreams too big for a small town world
F#m                      E           D
Faded red ribbon from my first track meet
F#m                    E          A
Second place never was enough for me

E
You wanna win but you compromise
    D                A
You lose yourself in all the lies
E                                   D
Till you're someone you hardly recognize

[Chorus]
         D                                      A
Oh, they say you can't move forward when you're looking back
        D                                  A                    (G# bass note)
But I'm hoping there's some answers hidden somewhere in the past
      F#m       (E bass note)       D               (C# bass note)  Bm
Every snapshot memory       Missing piece just might put me back together
D (ring)                  F#m     E A
   Help me see the bigger picture

F#m            E      A
White corsage, senior prom
F#m                            E       A
Christmas from the year that I lost my mom
F#m                          E         D
Wedding day, waving from the back of a car
       F#m             E      A
Before broken vows and broken hearts

        E                                       D               A
Now I'm time and tears and years removed from a world of hurt I can't undo
E                                 D
Lost and searching for some kinda clue

[Chorus]
         D                                      A
Oh, they say you can't move forward when you're looking back
        D                                  A                    (G#)
But I'm hoping there's some answers hidden somewhere in the past
      F#m       (E)                 D               (C#)           Bm
Every snapshot memory       Missing piece just might put me back together
D (ring)                  F#m
   Help me see the bigger picture

[Interlude Chords twice as long] (F#m)  E  D        F#m  Bm  E

    D                    E                     D
The girl I thought I was   isn't lost in yesterday
                      E (ring)
Am I strong enough to turn another page?

[Chorus]
     D                                      A
They say you can't move forward when you're looking back
        D                                  A                    (G#)
But I'm hoping there's some answers hidden somewhere in the past
      F#m       (E)                 D               (C#)           Bm
Every snapshot memory       Missing piece just might put me back together
D (ring)                  F#m    E A                F#m    E A
   Help me see the bigger picture    Oh, the bigger picture

        F#m                 E      A
Took an old scrapbook off a closet shelf
F#m                   E            D
Dusted off the cover, dusted off myself
