Next Big Thing

G D Em D I met her at a bar where I often sit down G D Em D And have myself a drink C Am She played my favorite song C D Before I had time to think

G D Em D So I bought her a round and she pounded it down G D Em D Let out a laugh like a freight train C Am We exchanged small talk C D Doesn't it feel that way

D C D She said you and I we're two of a kind G D Em Not afraid to dream Em C D We could be the next big thing

G D Em D - G D Em D

G D Em D She told me her roommate was gone for the weekend G D Em D Borrowed her car and took off with her boyfriend C Am They'd be married soon C D Was it December or June

G D Em D She was an artist with a two bedroom apartment G D Em D Her dad kept her going on a weekly allowance C Am She'd be graduating soon C D Was it December or June

D C D She said you and I we're two of a kind G D Em Not afraid to dream Em C D We could be the next big thing

G D Em D - G D Em D

G D Em D So I bought her one more and she stared at the door G D Em D Watching the parade moving out and in C Am She made fun of their clothes Am C D She said that I could never be one of those

G D Em D And I thought to myself you're just like everybody else G D Em D Standing at the station but missing the train C Am I turned to catch her expression C D She walked back home in the rain

D C D And I said you and I we're two of a kind G D Em Not afraid to dream Em C D We could've been the next big thing G D Em D The next big thing G D Em D The next big thing G D Em D The next big thing
