Roddy Frame (Aztec Camera) - Bigger, Brighter, Better (Acoustic Live) chords
Start Jamming...
My first song is a song called Bigger Brighter Better.
It's kind of autobiographical, [G]
which is unusual for an introspective singer-songwriter [B] like me.
But it's a style I thought I'd try.
Chevrolet over Pontcartain
[E] Blue and grey driving rain [B] became a part of me
Search and play once again
[E] Naive melody touched [B] the heart of me
[G#m] Brave words [F#] in bold belief
[G#m] No time to get [F#] old, no [B] belief
Bigger, brighter [C#m] is how the world looks in a [F#] man
[G#m] It's filled with [F#] your face [B] staring straight back through me
Bigger, brighter, better
[C#m] And I was sold forever
[F#] Down [G#m] no great [F#] river
[B] Just an endless sea
A love supreme, one hell of a team
No [E] messy birth or dirty death, just the in-between
Holding tight is what we thought was right
[E] But begin to squeeze and love [B] leaves far away again
Yeah, I was young, chewing gum, acting like a dum-dum
All at sea, [Em] whoa is me, [B] let's get numb
[G#m] Fast times, [F#] high hopes
[G#m] Too whack to push back the [B] envelope
Bigger, [B] brighter [G#m] is how the world looks in a man
[F#] [G#m]
It's filled with [F#] my face [B] staring straight back through me
Bigger, brighter, better
[C#m] And I was sold forever
[F#]
[G#m] Down no great [F#] river
[B] Just an endless sea
You [C#m] and [G#m] I sail on stormy waters
[C#m]
Unaware [G#m] of what we got
[C#m] Some say let it go
[G#m] Ride the tide, feel the [F#] flow
[G#m] But I sense bombs [F#] [G#m] below
Can't wait to detonate them
You [B] and I like a minesweeper
Never is over
[G#m] We can live more cheated
[F#] [G#m] See bridges burning
[F#]
[B] Oversized in the water
Lover, so leave me
[C#m] And bring our world back to me
[F#]
[G#m] Bigger, brighter, [F#] better
[B] Do your own sweet self
[G]
