"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
'cause C#m7I can't build my towers higher
D#m7 Emaj7 *Emaj7/F#
And live inside Your fire, no no no
Chorus:
Emaj7Whenever I climb too high
Keep my Bfeet on the ground
And when I get Emaj7full of me turn me D#m7upside G#m7down
You know F#m7pride and not just Bsummer
Come Emaj7before the G#m7fall
So if it's C#m7You 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:
'cause C#m7I can't build my towers higher
D#m7 Emaj7 *Emaj7/F#
And live inside Your fire, no no no
Chorus:
Emaj7Whenever I climb too high
Keep my Bfeet on the ground
And when I get Emaj7full of me turn me D#m7upside G#m7down
You know F#m7pride and not just Bsummer
Come Emaj7before the G#m7fall
So if it's C#m7You that's getting bigger
I don't mind being small
Bridge:
Em7These people won't miss me
I'll be Bout of their memories
The D#m7ground will forget me for G#m7sure
Only C#m7one is remembered
One C#name to be treasured
Is D#Yours
(Laid back chorus, fingerpicking?)
So now when I Emaj7climb too high
Keep my feet on the ground
BAnd if I get full of me turn me upside down
You know D#m7pride and not just summer
Come before the G#m7fall
Ooo
So maybe Emaj7hopefully I see less of me
And Bmore of you and its true
I'll be finally free
D#m7That's what I want after G#m7all
Yeah
Chorus:
Emaj7Whenever I climb too high
Keep my Bfeet on the ground
And when I get Emaj7full of me turn me D#m7upside G#m7down
You know F#m7pride and not just Bsummer
Come Emaj7before the G#m7fall
So if it's C#m7You that's getting bigger
I don't mind..
