[Start]

[Intro]

[Verse]
G D C F    G               Em             G        
■ ■ ■ Well you went uptown riding in your limousine
                    Em     G      
With your fine Park Avenue clothes
                D                    
You had the Dom Pérignon in your hand
        D                 
And the spoon up your nose
    C                         G      
And ■ when you wake up in the morning
          G           
With your head on fire
                  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
G                           C    F         
Because you had to be a big shot didn't you
    C           F            
You had to open up your mouth
C                   D    G7        
You had to be a big shot didn't you
D                     C             
All your friends were so knocked out


[Chorus]
                         F              
You had to have the last word last night
    C         F                 
You know what everything's about
                        C            
You had to have a white hot spotlight
                D                  
You had to be a big shot last night

[Verse]
     Em                           G            
They were all impressed with your Halston dress
        Em                              
And the people that you knew at Elaine's
        Em                          
And the story of your latest success
D           C           F C
Kept 'em so entertained ■ ■
               E7         Em      
Oh but now you just don't remember
        Em             
All the things you said
                                G   
And you're not sure you want to know


[Chorus]
              Bm       Em   
I'll give you one hint honey
    D                 C    F
You sure did put on a show ■
G                       F        C      F  
Yes yes you had to be a big shot didn't you
           C               F    
You had to prove it to the crowd
                G   D    G7        
You had to be a big shot didn't you
         G            Dm7        C  
All your friends were so knocked out
                    F    C         F    
You had to have the last word last night
        C         F     
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

[Verse]
D         Em                                   
Well it's no big sin to stick your two cents in
                             G    
If you know when to leave it alone
        Em                
But you went over the line
             D                     C   
You couldn't see it was time to go home
F        G                        F   C    F         
No no no no no no you had to be a big shot didn't you
           C            F    
You had to open up your mouth
                G7                 
You had to be a big shot didn't you
         G            D          C  
All your friends were so knocked out


[Chorus]
                    F    C         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 spotlight
                D        F C    G D F C     G
You had to be a big shot ■ last ■ ■ ■ night ■
