Em
I know where I'm heading for
C
I know what I wanna be
          Em
When they asked me at school what I wanted to be
         C
That was all they got from me

Chorus:
Em
I wanna be a big man, nobody putting me down
I wanna be a big man

They say love is all you need
But everyone needs to know
If you look a bit tough when you talk about love
I'm sure that love would grow

Chorus

F                         E
Look around, see if I'm wrong
              F                         B C
It's only a show for those who don't belong

Chorus:
E
I wanna be a big man, yeah yeah
                        C  B
I wanna be a big man, yeah yeah

I know what I'm living for
But there ain't no guarantee
If I make a wrong move you could jump in my shoes
And that ain't no good to me

Chorus:
I wanna be a big man, yeah yeah
I wanna be a big man, yeah yeah

Look around, see if I'm wrong
It's only a show for those who don't belong

Chorus:
E
I wanna be a big man, yeah yeah
                        C  B
I wanna be a big man, yeah yeah

You wanna be a big man, yeah yeah
You wanna be a big man, yeah yeah
You wanna be a big man, yeah yeah
You wanna be a big man, yeah yeah
You know, you wanna be a big man, yeah yeah
You know, you wanna be a big man
