Paperface - A Bigger Man

      [INTRO]

E E6 E E6  х2


[VERSE 1]

     E               E6
As I look out at the window,
    E                  E6
The first thing that I see
     E             E6
Is a shadow-like reflection
B
Looking back at me.
Bsus2
Cause all the lights are turned on
And the night is dark outside,
B6sus2
The window's like a mirror
        A               E  E6  E  E6
For the things I keep inside.


[VERSE 2]

       E               E6
I feel scared of how I blend in
         E              E6
With the silence of the night;
    E                 E6
The curtains start to move
      B
As I pull them from the right,
Bsus2
And closing off the image
Of the ghost that looks like me
   B6sus2
I wonder if the man I am
    A            E  E6  E  E6
Is all I'll ever be


[CHORUS 1]

        E    E6 Emaj7/G#
Cause I used to dream
         E6            E           E6  Emaj7/G#   E6
That I'd take over the world one day,
A
Me and my guitar
      F#m
In a chauffeur-driven car
        E  E6  E  E6
All the way... 
      E    E6  Emaj7/G#
Yet I used to dream
          E6            E         E6  Emaj7/G#  E6
That I'd take over the world one day,
      A
But I guess for most of us
            F#m
It's just a chauffeur-driven bus,
           E  E6  E  E6
What can I say?


[VERSE 3]

    E               E6
And sunny days are plenty,
       E           E6
I feel lucky to be here.
    E                  E6
The girl that sleeps beside me
           B
Gets more pretty every year.
Bsus2
But every now and then
A cloudy day comes by,
B6sus2
Something I remember
       A              E  E6  E  E6
But I can't remember why.


[CHORUS 2]

        E    E6  Emaj7/G#
Cause I used to dream
         E6            E         E6  Emaj7/G#  E6
That I'd take over the world one day,
A
Me and my guitar
           F#m
They’d be handing out cigars
        E  E6  E  E6
All the way...
      E    E6  Emaj7/G#
Yet I used to dream
          E6            E         E6  Emaj7/G#  E6
That I'd take over the world one day,
      A
But I guess when I will come,
             F#m
It's just an evening down the pub,
           E  E6  E  E6
What can I say?


[VERSE 4]

            E                    E6
And there's one more thing that strikes me
     E             E6
As I put away this song -
       E              E6
That's just no way to tell
             B
If you chose right or you chose wrong.
   Bsus2
So look at your reflection
In the window if you can,
B6sus2
And try to see the world outside,
       A             E  E6  E  E6
You'll be the bigger man.


[CHORUS 1]

      E      E6  Emaj7/G#
Cause I used to dream
         E6             E         E6  Emaj7/G#  E6
That I'd take over the world one day,
A
Me and my guitar
      F#m
In a chauffeur-driven car
        E  E6  E  E6
All the way...
      E    E6   Emaj7/G#
Yet I used to dream
         E6             E         E6  Emaj7/G#  E6
That I'd take over the world one day,
      A
But I guess for most of us
            F#m
It's just a chauffeur-driven bus,
           E  E6  E  E6
What can I say?
