Big Boys  Elvis Costello



[E]I am starting to function
In the usual way
Everything is so provocative
Very very, temporary

[E]I shall walk (I shall walk)
Out of this place (out of this place)
I shall walk

Out on [A]you
'Cause you go silly
If she's willing

Trying[B] so [A]hard to be like the [E]big boys

[G]So you take her to the pictures
[Em]Trying to become a fixture
[G]Inch by inch trying to reach her
[Em]All the way through the second feature
[C]Worrying about your [D]physical fitness
[C]Tell me how you [D]got this sickness, [A]Oh ohhhh..   [E]
[E]I was caught in the suction
By a face like a truncheon
I was down upon one knee
Stroking her vanity

[E]I was stuck on a hammerhead
I came alive and left for dead
As my face returned to red
Choking on my pride and pity

[E]We can talk (we can talk)
Until your face is blue ('til your face is blue)

We can talk but she'll get to [A]you
After you've been loved and hated
By the ones you've watched and waited
Found that they were overrated

[B]She'll be the [E]one - when the party's [A]over

[B]She'll be the [E]one - when the girls have [A]gone home
[B]She'll be the [E]one - that you'll wish you'd hel[A]d onto
[B]She'll be the [E]one - but it's too [A]late for you to
[B]She'll be the [E]one - who knows all your [A]history
[B]She'll be the [E]one -
So you can cross her off your [A]list
And you try[B] so [A]hard
And you try[B] so [A]hard
And you try[B] so [A]hard
To be like the [E]big boys
