[Verse]
                     Em             G        
Well you went uptown riding in your limousine
                    Em     G      
With your fine Park Avenue clothes
                Em               D   
You had the Dom Perignon in your hand
                      C   
And the spoon up your nose
                            Em     
And when you wake up in the morning
          G           
With your head on fire
                  Em        G  
And your eyes too bloody to see
                      Em    
Go on and cry in your coffee
    D                      F 
But don't come bitchin' to me


[Chorus]
                            F              
Because you had to be a big shot didn't you
                F            
You had to open up your mouth
                    G7             
You had to be a big shot didn't you
                      D          C  
All your friends were so knocked out
                         F              
You had to have the last word last night
              C                 
You know what everything's about
F                           C        
You had to have a white hot spotlight
                    G    D         
You had to be a big shot last night

     Em                                        
They were all impressed with your Halston dress
                                G       
And the people that you knew at Elaine's
        Em                          
And the story of your latest success
D           C          
Kept 'em so entertained
            Em                 
But now you just don't remember
G                      
All the things you said
    G                                    
And you're not sure that you want to know
              Em            
I'll give you one hint honey
    D                 C   
You sure did put on a show
F                                          
Yes yes you had to be a big shot didn't you
           F                    
You had to prove it to the crowd
                G   D              
You had to be a big shot didn't you
         G                       C  
All your friends were so knocked out
                    F                   
You had to have the last word last night
               C               
You're so much fun to be around
F                   C                   
You had to have the front page bold type
                D        G         
You had to be a big shot last night

          Em                       G           
Well it's no big sin to stick your two cents in
       Em                    G    
If you know when to leave it alone
        Em                
But you went over the line
             D               C  F C      
You couldn't see it was time to ■ go home


[Verse]
                  F                                  
No no no no no no you had to be a big shot didn't you
           F                 
You had to open up your mouth
                G7                 
You had to be a big shot didn't you
         G7                         
All your friends were so knocked out
                                   F    
You had to have the last word last night
        C         F     
So much fun to be around
                  C                   
You had to have a white hot spot light
                D        F         
You had to be a big shot last night
