[Verse]
              E7               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   
The spoon up your nose
             C                     
And when you wake up in the morning
          G           
With your head on fire
                        Em 
Your eyes too bloody to see
          Em                
Go on and cry in your coffee
    D                      C 
But don't come bitchin' to me


[Chorus]
G                       F   C    F         
Because you had to be a big shot didn't you
           F                 
You had to open up your mouth
                G   D    G         
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
              F                 
You know what everything's about
                  C                  
You had to have a white hot spotlight
                D             Em7  
You had to be a big shot last night

          Em  Em7                 G            
They were all impressed with your halston dress
    G                               
The people that you knew at elaine's
        Em                   D      
And the story of your latest success
            C          
Kept 'em so entertained
            C                  
But now you just can't remember
        G              
All the things you said
Em7                         G   
You're not sure you want to know
              Em7           
I'll give you one hint honey
    D                 C   
You sure did put on a show


[Chorus]
                        F                  
Yes yes you had to be a big shot didn't you
    F                           
You had to prove it to the crowd
                G                  
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         F     
You're so much fun to be around
                C                       
You had to have the front page bold type
                D                  
You had to be a big shot last night

Well ■ it's no big sin to stick your two cents in


[Verse]
       G                          
If you know when to leave it alone
        Em                
But you went over the line
             D                     C    F
You couldn't see it was time to go home ■
C                     F                                      
■ Yea yea yea yea yea yea you had to be a big shot didn't you
    F                        
You had to open up your mouth
                G        G7        
You had to be a big shot didn't you
         G            D          C  
All your friends were so knocked out
                    F    C    F         
You had to have the last word last night
              F                 
You know what everything's about
                  C         F        
You had to have a white hot spotlight
                D                  
You had to be a big shot last night
