Lauren Spencer-Smith - Bigger Person

[Intro]
G Bm

[Verse 1]
Em D/F# G
When you’d yell, I would stay silent
Bm
You never noticed I was quiet
Em D/F#
I was taught that speaking up was talking back
G
Always first to say I’m sorry
Bm
‘Cause I wanted you to like me
Em D/F#
And I thought that’s what it took to make it last
C
It’s a loselose

[Pre-Chorus]
D
That I don’t choose
C D#dim7
But you don’t always choose the ones you love

[Chorus]
Em C G
I shouldn’t have to be the bigger person
Em C G
How come I have to break to keep us workin’?
Em C
It’s always up to me
G B7
Even though it shouldn’t be
C Cm
I will take the blame the way you want me to
‘Cause that’s what I do for you

[Post-Chorus]
G Bm Em D/F# G
I was half of this dynamic

[Verse 2]
Bm
I was stable, you were manic
Em D/F#
Without you or with you comes with a cost
G
I got used to the excuses
Bm
And emotional abuses
Em D/F#
We kept moving the lines we’d never cross
C
It’s a loselose

[Pre-Chorus]
D
That I don’t choose
C D#dim7
But you don’t always choose the ones you love

[Chorus]
Em C G
I shouldn’t have to be the bigger person
Em C G
How come I have to break to keep us workin’?
Em C
It’s always up to me
G B7
Even though it shouldn’t be
C Adim/C
I will take the blame the way you want me to
Am
‘Cause that’s what I do for you

[Bridge]
D
I always think it’s over
G
But it never really is
Em
‘Cause I can’t get the closure
Am
When you’re like this
D
Can we switch?

[Interlude]
Em C G
Maybe this time, you’ll be the bigger person
Em C G
‘Cause I’m gettin’ tired of bearin’ all your burden
Em C
It should be up to you
G D/F#
But you won’t admit the truth, ohhohh

[Chorus]
Em C G
I shouldn’t have to be the bigger person
Em C G
How come I have to break to keep us workin’?
Em C
It’s always up to me
G B7
Even though it shouldn’t be
C Cm
I’ll take the blame the way you want me to
G
‘Cause that’s what I do for you
