         C
Well, I had a little feeling to have a big night
       G
And I woke up feeling small and not so brave and not quite right
          C
I had to face the where was I and who was she, what did I do
         G                           C
Worst of all, I had to face the big light

Chorus:
         C                                  F7
The big light came through my window and it opened up my eyelids
         G                                        C
And it snapped them up like roller blinds and it told me things that I did
         C                             F7
I can't face another day and night of good ideas and complications
          G
And I'm thankful that I didn't open another bottle of inspiration

When the hangover this morning had a personality
And I cast my shattered mind over selected memories
Didn't even touch the light switch, cause I didn't want to see
That haggard face that was staring back at me

Chorus

Yes, I had a little feeling to have a big time
And I woke up to alarm bells like a big church chime
Had to face the where was I and who was she, what did I do
Worst of all, I had to face the big light

Chorus

Oh it's nice to go out and have a big night
But sooner or later you're got to face the big light
