Verse 1:

C7
 The place where I come from,
Gm
 Is a small town.
Cm
 They think so small,
               Gm
They use small words.

        C7
But not me;
I'm smarter than that,
Gm
 I worked it out.
Cm
 I've been stretching my mouth,
             Gm
To let those big words come right out.

          C7
I've had enough, I'm getting out,
       Gm
To the city, the big, big city.
Cm
 I'll be a big noise,
With all the big boys,
Gm
 There's so much stuff I will own.

 And I will pray to a big God,

 As I kneel in the big church.

Oh yes.

[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/p/peter-gabriel/119510.html ]
C7
 My parties have,
        Gm
All the big names,
And I greet them,
                Cm
With the widest smile.
Tell them how my life,
              Gm
Is one big ad-venture.

                    C7
And always they're amazed,
When I show them 'round,
   Gm
My house, to my bed.
         Cm
I had it made like,
A mountain range,
                  Gm
With a snow-white pillow,
For my big fat head.

Bridge 2:

F#
 And my heaven will,
Be a big heaven,
C7
 And I will walk,
Through the front door.

 (Big Time),
   C    F
Oh yes.
Gm           Bb
 (Big Time),
            C       F
I've got to make it show, yeah!

Gm           Bb, C  F
 (Big Time),
C        F
 So much larger,
     Gm    Bb, C  F
Than life,

I'm going to watch it growing.
