  			Eliza Doolittle - Big When I Was Little Lyrics 

Intro:  F  G  Bb  F  (4 bars of each) 

F 
Can't believe I'm leaving  
       G 
Got my boxes by the door  
Bb                                F 
Sorting trough my memories, cross legged on the floor  
F 
My diaries and scrapbooks, oh  
     G 
They seem to take me there  
Bb                                    F 
I was always posh spice and you wore zigzags in your hair  

 F 
Would you know me, know me, know me 
       G 
If you saw me, saw me, saw me  
Bb 
Nothing but hopes and living the moment  
C 
Where we were meant to be  

F 
Ooooohhhh  
                 G 
Those days don't seem so far  
         Bb                               F 
When I'm flicking through my old Polaroid photographs  
F 
Me and yoooouuuuuu  
                   G 
You always made me laugh  
Bb 
Dancing to cassette tape singles  
F 
That was big when I was little  
F 
Big when I was little  
G 
Big when I was little  
          Bb 
Just like Malcolm in the middle  
         F 
That was big when I was little  

F 
Oh this box is haunting me  
  G 
I can't throw it away  
Bb                    
School reports and birthdays cards  
F 
Feels like yesterday  
F 
Clip on diamantes  
         G 
Makes me think of Friday nights  
Bb                                 F 
Leaving after class with me on the back of your bike  

F 
Would you know me, know me, know me  
       G 
If you saw me, saw me, saw me 
Bb 
Nothing but hopes and living the moment  
C 
Where we were meant to be  

F 
Ooooohhhh  
                 G 
Those days don't seem so far  
         Bb                              F 
When I'm flicking trough my old Polaroid photographs  
F 
Me and yoooouuuuuu  
           G 
You always made me laugh  
Bb 
Dancing to cassette tape singles  
F 
That was big when I was little  
F 
Big when I was little  
G 
Big when I was little  
          Bb 
Just like Malcolm in the middle  
         F 
That was big when I was little  
F 
Big when I was little  
G 
Big when I was little  
         Bb 
Like Nirvana and Lauryn Hill  
F 
They were big when I was little  

F 
Super nintendo and club nights at Bagleys  
G 
Smirnoff Ice, open mic nights and acne  
Bb 
Wonder where you ended up  
    F 
Cos I just can't thank you enough  
F 
Avirex jakets and strawberry Ribena  
G 
Nike tn's dreams of Wembley arena  
Bb     F 
Ohhh,  ohhh 

F 
Ooooohhhh  
                 G 
Those days don't seem so far  
         Bb                              F 
When I'm flicking trough my old Polaroid photographs  
F 
Me and yoooouuuuuu  
           G 
You always made me laugh  
Bb 
Dancing to cassette tape singles  
F 
That was big when I was little  
F 
Big when I was little  
G 
Big when I was little  
          Bb 
Just like Malcolm in the middle  
         F 
That was big when I was little  
n.C. 
Big when I was little  
Big when I was little  
Like Nirvana and Lauryn Hill  
They were big when I was little
