Elvis Costello – Big Tears chords

[Intro]
G F C x4

[Verse]
G                                       EmEveryone is busy with the regular routine
       D                              GThe sniper just takes his aim
C                                              AmEveryone is window shopping, no one is amazed
C                                             AmEven if he hits you, you'd still think it's just a graze
D                     G    DYou go to a movie, you go to a show
                                    G     DYou think that you're living, you don't really know

[Chorus]
C    G      C        DBig tears mean nothing
C          G         Am                DYou can count them as they fall
C    G      C       DBig tears mean nothing
                     A                  DWhen you're lying in your coffin
             G  F C  D                       G F C x4Tell me who's       been taken in

[Verse]
F     C    G                                    EmOh, you talk about the new boss automatic clause
           D                                            GBut of course they make it all up for you
C                                      AmAlways fascinated by the weird edge of town
C                                                 AmCome home disappointed every time they put you down
D                                G       D                         GLaughing with the old boys, saying that it's all noise

[Chorus]
D              C   G       C       DI suppose big tears mean nothing
C           G        Am                DYou can count them as they fall
C    G     C         DBig tears mean nothing
                     A                  DWhen you're lying in your coffin
             G  F C  D                       G F C x4Tell me who's       been taken in

[Verse]
G                               EmAll the buttons of my overcoat
                  D                        GThey have fallen off one by one
C                                                     AmYou wouldn't even like me if you'd never had a drink
C                                                  AmYou wouldn't even like me if you never stopped to think
D                             G     D                            GStanding in the shadow, turning wives to widows

[Chorus]
D                       C   G       C       DDon’t you know big tears mean nothing
C           G        Am                DYou can count them as they fall
C    G      C         DBig tears mean nothing
                     A                        DWhen you're lying and you’re coughin’
             G  F C  D                       G F C x2Tell me who's       been taken in
             G  F C  D                       G F C x2Tell me who's       been taken in
