Verse:
------
	The place where I come from is a small town
Db7/Ab                         Db7sus4/Ab      

	They think so small, they use small words
Dbm7/Ab                                     Abm

But not me,    I'm smarter than that,          I worked it out
        Db7/Ab 			     Db7sus4/Ab

	I've been stretching my mouth to let those big words come right out
Dbm7/Ab						   Abm

I've had enough, I'm getting out, to the city,     the big big city
          Db7/Ab       			 Db7sus4/Ab

	I'll be a big noise with all the big boys, so much stuff I will own
Dbm7/Ab						   Abm

    	And I will pray to a big god,       as I kneel in the big church
G-5                  		      Db7/F

Chorus:
-------- 
Big time, I'm on my way,     I'm making it, big time
Abm       Abm/B     Db/F         Db7sus4/Gb Abm     Abm/B Db/F Db7sus4/Gb

Big time, I've got to make it  show-yeah,  big time  
Abm       Abm/B       Db/F     Db7sus4/Gb  Abm     Abm/B Dbsus4/Gb

Big time,       so much  larger than life
Abm       Abm/B Db/F     Db7sus4/Gb  Abm     Abm/B Db/F Db7sus4/Gb

Big time, I'm going to watch it growing,   big time

Oh oh oh,   oh oh oh  oh oh oh,   oh oh oh  
   Gbsus4      Gb,       Gbsus4      Gb    

[verse] 
My parties all have big names
And I greet them with the widest smile
Tell them how my life is one big adventure^
And always they're amazed
When I show them round my house, to my bed
I had it made like a mountain range
With a snow-white pillow for my big fat head
And my heaven will be a big heaven
And I will walk through the front door

[chorus to end]
Big time, I'm on my way, I'm making it, big time  
Big time, I've got to make it show-yeah, big time
Big time, so much larger than life
Big time, I'm going to watch it growing, big time 
					          Dbsus4/Gb

My car getting bigger
Big time, my house getting bigger
Big time, my eyes getting bigger
Big time, and my mouth
                 Gbsus4/Gb Gb

Big time, my belly is getting bigger
Big time, and my bank account
Big time, look at my circumstance
Big time, and the bulge in my big big big big big big ... big
                  Db7sus4/Gb                              Abm
