Old 97's - Big Brown Eyes

      [Intro]
D   Am

[Verse]
          G
Big brown eyes, and a gust of wind
        D
And the cherry burns the corner of the page that says,
                   G
"The end is coming soon," but not soon enough
D
Restring all your guitars, pack up all your stuff
          C        C/B    Am
'Cause if Robert's dad is right
             C       C/B         Am
We might not make it through the night
        C       C/B  Am
And I'd hate to go alone
                   D    D/C    D/B    D/A
Please pick up the phone

[Verse]
              G
Well a box of red, and a pill or three
        D
And I'm callin' time and temperature just for some company
                G
I wish you were here, I wish I was too
           D
Well, I'll drink myself to sleeplessness, I always do
          C       C/B  Am
You don't want me anymore
      C                C/B            Am
Since fame and fortune broke down our door
                C       C/B   Am
Well, you don't give me no respect
                 D    D/C    D/B    D/A
Oh, what did I expect?

[Chorus]
    G                   Am            C       D
And if that phone don't ring one more time
          G                 Am         C      D
Well, I'm gonna lose what's left of my mind
    G            Am             C            D
You made a big impression for a girl of your size
G               Am         C            D         G    Am    C
Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes
           D         G    Am    C
Yeah, your big brown eyes
           D         G    Am    C     D
Yeah, your big brown eyes

Am    C    G    D
Am    C    G    D    Am

[Verse]
              G
Her hands are cold, her breath is warm
        D
She's a port, in a storm
            G
I'm worried now, but it won't be long
         D
Well, it takes a worried man, you know, to sing a worried song
          C     C/B   Am
An' I got issues,   yeah
       C       C/B    Am
Like I miss you,   yeah
      C      C/B        Am
And I wish I weren't so thick
                        D    D/C    D/B    D/A
Well, I'm making myself sick

[Chorus]
    G                   Am            C       D
And if that phone don't ring one more time
          G                 Am         C      D
Well, I'm gonna lose what's left of my mind
    G            Am             C            D
You made a big impression for a girl of your size
G               Am         C            D         G    Am        C
Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes
           D         G    Am      C    D
Yeah, your big brown eyes
           D         G    Am      C    D
Yeah, your big brown eyes
           D         G    Am      C    D
Yeah, your big brown eyes
