"Being Small" - Jimmy Needham From the 2010 album, "Nightlights" NOTE: The Emaj7/F# in the prechoruscould be played as Emaj9. Emaj7/F# is the same notes as Emaj9, but the most common chord shapes for Emaj9 don't have F# in the bass, which is essential for the chord change to sound correct. Intro: B F# E B Verse 1: (Same chords as intro) Why I wanna be a hurricane When I'm barely a breeze Cuz I've already seen Your storm Bring me down to my knees Just when we think we may be high enough You knock us back to the ground We are trying to move up fast Can't see the contrast Of how the King came down Pre-Chorus C#m7 'cause I can't build my towers higher D#m7 Emaj7 *Emaj7/F# And live inside Your fire, no no no Chorus: Emaj7 Whenever I climb too high B Keep my feet on the ground Emaj7 D#m7 G#m7 And when I get full of me turn me upside down F#m7 B You know pride and not just summer Emaj7 G#m7 Come before the fall C#m7 So if it's You that's getting bigger (Verse Chords) I don't mind... being small Being small Verse 2: (Same as Verse 1) Maybe if I shout real loud Maybe then I'll draw a crowd And they'll finally cheer Or maybe I should tone down Never make a sound now Anything to draw them near Or maybe there's more to life Than trying to make a name Even though they say it ain't so So maybe I should step on down Hand off the kings crown To the God on the throne Pre-Chorus: C#m7 'cause I can't build my towers higher D#m7 Emaj7 *Emaj7/F# And live inside Your fire, no no no Chorus: Emaj7 Whenever I climb too high B Keep my feet on the ground Emaj7 D#m7 G#m7 And when I get full of me turn me upside down F#m7 B You know pride and not just summer Emaj7 G#m7 Come before the fall C#m7 So if it's You that's getting bigger I don't mind being small Bridge: Em7 These people won't miss me B I'll be out of their memories D#m7 G#m7 The ground will forget me for sure C#m7 Only one is remembered C# One name to be treasured D# Is Yours (Laid back chorus, fingerpicking?) Emaj7 So now when I climb too high Keep my feet on the ground B And if I get full of me turn me upside down D#m7 You know pride and not just summer G#m7 Come before the fall Ooo Emaj7 So maybe hopefully I see less of me B And more of you and its true I'll be finally free D#m7 G#m7 That's what I want after all Yeah Chorus: Emaj7 Whenever I climb too high B Keep my feet on the ground Emaj7 D#m7 G#m7 And when I get full of me turn me upside down F#m7 B You know pride and not just summer Emaj7 G#m7 Come before the fall C#m7 So if it's You that's getting bigger I don't mind.. Emaj7 B Being small D#m7 G#m7 Being small, oh oh oh Emaj7 B Being small D#m7 G#m7 Being small, oh oh oh B7 Emaj7 Whoa, Yeah Repeat to fade!
