Well you went up-town 
-6   6   5  -4  -7  -7  -7
Rid-ing in your lim-ou-sine
 -6   -6   -6   -6  -6  6 5   -8-6-7 
With your fine Park Av-en-ue clothes
-6  -6  -6  -6  -6 -6  -6  6   5    -7
You had the Dom Per-i-gnon in your hand
-7  -7    -7  -6   6   -6
And the spoon up your nose
-7   -6   -6  -6   -6  -6
Ooh, and when you wake up 
-6 -6   -6   6
in the morn-ing
  5   -4   -7  -7 -7 -6
With your head on fi-re
-6   -6   -6  -6    -6  6 5 -8-7
And your eyes too blood-y to see
-6 -6 -6  -6  -6  -6  -6   6
Go on and cry in your cof-fee
 5   -7    -7   -7   -6  6 -66
But don't come bitch-in' to me

-7   -7  -7  -7  -7 -7 -7 -7  -6
Be-cause you had to be a big shot, 
  -7   -6
Didn't you
-6  -8   7 -7 7  -7  7   -7-6
You had to op-en up your mouth
-7  -7  -7 -7 -7 -7  -6     -7    -6
You had to be a big shot, didn't you
-8   7     -7      7  -7   -6    -6
All your friends were so knocked out
-7  -7  -7  -7  -7   -7   -6    -7   -6
You had to have the last word, last night
-6   -8    7  -7  7    -7    7 -7-6
You know what ev-‘ry-thing's a-bout
-6  -6  -6  -6 -6  -6    6   -6    6
You had to have a white hot spot-light
 6  -6  -7 -7 -7 -7  -6   -7   -6
You had to be a big shot last night
-7-66-66
 Whoa

 -7   -6   -6  -6  -6    -6
Well they were all im-pressed 
  6   5   -7   -7   -7
with your Hal-ston dress
-6  -6  -6  -6   -6  -6   -6  6  5 -8-6-7
And the peo-ple that you knew at E-laine's
-6  -6  -6  -6 -6  -6  -6   6   5   -7
And the sto-ry of your lat-est suc-cess
 -7   -7 -7 -6  6   -6
Kept 'em so en-ter-tained
-7  -6  -6  -6   -6   -6   -6 -6   6
Aw, but now you just don't re-mem-ber
 5  -4    -7   -7  -7-6
All the things you said
-6    -6   -6   -6   -6  -6   6  5   -8
And you're not sure that you wan-na know
 -8   -8  -8   8   9     8  -8
I'll give you one hint, hon-ey
-7   -8   8  -7  -6 6  -66

It's no big sin stick your two cents in
-6 -6   -6   -6  -6   -6  6  5 -8-6-7
If you know when to leave it a- lone
-8  -8   -8  9  9   9   9
But you went ov-er the line
-8    -8  -8   9  -6 -6   -6  -6 -6  -6
