Boy And Bear – Big Man chords

EWell I bit on my lip, and I kicked at my toes
ENo, I don't need your lecture cause your lecture won't show
           D          A         EThat you told me so I told you so
EBut I would have managed, I would have been fine
EI'd do it myself and I'd do it just my way,
    D             A              EI'm a big man for thinking just so.

A                                        EBut somebody told me that your mother was born
A                                      EOh a wandering woman with a spirit so sworn of the riverside
A                                  B          E                     AAnd it never surprised me but it meant that my love was immobilized
         B               E             AWell, it meant that my love was immobilized 
           D                A                     ECause when it comes, it comes when it does.

EBut you came in the middle and you fell in my hands
EOh a, wonderful woman and an average man.
       D              A             ESee that makes me the lucky man
EI won't be deserving, but I won't be denied
ESee, I fell in this position, I will still teach my kids pride
       D            A          EBecause failure's a part of it all
         D                       A                    E And if failure don't hurt then failure don't work at all

A                                               EBut somebody told me, our nephew was born
A                                     EOh, a beautiful baby, so smart and so sure of his little self
A                              B            E         A                              And in a wonderful way he was making me feel so small
    B       E          A                   Was making me feel so small,
    B        E            AWas making me feel so small.
     D               A           EAnd I don't think I've felt this before.

  A                   E                   A    In all the reasons to come, well they override my body and,
             E                        A                                 EI point to the sun, cause where it's warm is where the wilderness grows
                                A                     And it grows, and it grows 'till it all becomes nothing 
       A               EAnd nothing is left as you know.

    A                                    E(We walked it for a thousand years, with broken eyes and salted ears
     A                                           EComplaining 'bout the weather like we ever had a choice.
          A                                    E Through all the noise and self abuse, you waited for your fill of truth
      A                                         E Oh I'm terrified I'll achieve nothing at all.)
