I was a big man yesterday but boy you oughta see me now
              A   G              D              A      D
Well I talked big yesterday, but boy you oughta see me now

  G
I bragged too long that your love was strong,
        D
there'd never be another guy
    G                                         A
But you said more when you whispered your goodbye

        D   A   G             D              A      D
I was a big man yesterday but boy you oughta see me now

  D         A     G
I said that I was through with you,
  D               A  D
I didn't need you anyhow
  D      A      G
I said I didn't need you then,
    D              A      D
but boy you oughta see me now

      G
Those bragging words that you were mine,
   D                  
of that there was no doubt
   G                                    A
So empty now that half my life's walked out

D       A            G
Half my life left me yesterday,
    D              A      D
and boy you oughta see me now

   D        A       G
If you will just forgive me dear,
     A            A      D
I'll never break another vow
  D        A    G
I broke so many yesterday,
    D              A      D
and boy you oughta see me now

  G
I couldn't see it yesterday,
    D
but now I know it's true
    G                               A
The only thing that made me big was you

        D   A   G             D              A      D
I was a big man yesterday but boy you oughta see me now
   D              A      D
If you could only see me now

   D              A      D
If you would only see me now . . .
