Smaller

[Verso 1]


D                                       G 
We fell to earth unopened, and in falling lost our way 
A                       G                         D 
Now that I have your attention, there’s nothing to say 
D                                        G 
From Stockholm to the border, there are sheets of driving rain 
A                       G                          D 
I saw in your eyes the look of surprise as I walked away 



[Refrão]

G                A                     D           G 
If I’m getting smaller, it’s cause I’m leaving you today 
G                A 
If I’m getting stronger 


[Verso 2]


D                                             G 
There’s the busthead and a shaker, it’s the king and he stands to my pawn 
A                        G                        D 
The barroom light of a Tuesday night is blue as a tomb 
D                                  G 
So when does your jester, pull the king from off his throne 
A                            G                             D 
I’ll cry for your death, it’s death I’ll accept, but I’ll wither and burn 

 

[Refrão]

G                A                      D            G 
If I’m getting smaller, it’s cause I’m leaving you today 
G                A              D             G 
If I’m getting stronger, I remembered what to say 
G                A 
It might be that I’m stronger 
D 
But not today
