Verse 1
Okkervil River - " Get Big"
From "Black Sheep Boy"
[G]Once we get to the end
of [C]this song,
then it [Em]will begin [D]again.
So [G]you said, in our bed
I was watching [C]light slip
through [Em]the blinds to find [D]your skin.
So take [G]your [F]medicine,
and I won't [C]ask where you've been.
Live your[G] lost [F]weekend.
I know you've [C]wanted it.
[Am]Get big, [D]little kid.
[G]And I can't say why each day
doesn't [C]quite fit the [Em]space
we saved [D]for it.
But if that [G]space now demands
that you [C]throw up both your[Em] hands,
that you call [D]it quits...
Take your [G]midnight [F]trip
I know you've [C]dreamed of it.
Walk your [G]sunset [F]strip,
because I think you've [C]needed it
[Am]to get big, [D]little kid.
But just [C]remember that [G]our love
only [Am]got this good
[Em]because of some [Am]younger days
that you[C] like to [D]outstrip.
So [C]drink your cup down
[G]to the dregs and leave
that club [Em]on shaking legs
with [Am]another guy,
but just [C]remember: I'm[D] not him.

Take your [G][F]medicine and I won't [C]ask
where you've been.
Live your [G]lost [F]weekend,
because I know [C]you've wanted it
[Am]to get big, [D]little kid.
And once we [G]get to the end of this [C]song,
then [Em]another will [D]begin.
