F#m     E           D
In this life I feel down and I feel shitty
F#m        E          D
Ive got no reason for why I slouch around
F#m       E           D
Maybe tonight I could drown and find some pity
      F#m         E         D
Since Ive got no reason to swim in this town.

CHORUS
A        E               D
Oh Im a small fish in a town of big fishes
F#m               E      D
Im just like the minnow waiting to be bait
A               E            D
Oh Ill hang on your line to help capture the big one
F#m            E             D
To capture the big time that just got away.

F#m           E          D
Throughout my life Im a fish out of water
F#m         E             D
Learning to breathe is my only release
F#m             E           D
Now that youve made me the bait on your hook
F#m                E                D
I feel proud to be something that a purpose defeats

CHORUS   
it got away from me, it got away from yooooouuuu

CHORUS # 2
A             E             D
Maybe Im the big fish in a town of small fishes
   F#m                  E                       D
Im crawling through the night (you know), cause Im the master bait
A              E            D
Oh Ill hang on your line to help capture the big one
   F#m          E          D                          
To capture the big time so we can get away, 
                   F#m     E     D
well get away from here
                    A      E        D
well get away from theeeerrrreeeeeee

REFRAIN
   F#m              E            D
No matter where you go there you are, there you are (there)
   A               E            D
No matter where I go there you are, there you are (there)
   F#m              E             D
No matter where you go  there you are, there you are 
   A              E              D
No matter where I go, there you (you aaaarrrreee)
   F#m              E            D
