Big deal

Right time

Rather go blind

Stuck

Closure

One thing

ASIA - BIG DEAL

VERSE 1:

F                                                                     

Sat round the table where we’ve always met,

Dm

intrusive thoughts start to enter my head

Gm                                                                 

Like “Will I remember my passport?” and

 C

“Am I doing something I’ll always regret?”

F                                                                     

It was my own decision to take, it was

Dm

my own heart to break…

Gm                                                                 

You gave me everything that I asked for,

C

and it’s more than I think I could take.

PRE-CHORUS 1:

Bb                                          C

Oh this is what it feels like, I thought I was over the worst

Bb                                          C

But it hits the second time, so much harder than the first

CHORUS:

F                     Dm                      Am C

I’m in over my head, and I’m out of my comfort zone

F                     Dm                      Am. C

Filled with excitement and dread, as I’m emptying our home

Gm             C                  Dm           F                   

I’ll never forget leaving everything I’ve ever known

Gm             C                  Dm           F                   

It’s a little bit of a big deal, but that’s how it goes

VERSE 2:

F                                                                 

The alarm bell rings and I open my eyes, in a

Dm

bedroom that I don’t recognise

Gm                                                             

I had a dream there was no difference between a

 C

shock and a pleasant surprise

PRE-CHORUS 2:

Bb                                          C

Oh this is what it feels like, when you finally put yourself first

Bb                                          C

You ask me how I’m doing, but it’s hard to put to words

CHORUS 2:

F                     Dm                      Am. C

I’m in over my head, and I’m out of my comfort zone

F                     Dm                      Am. C

Filled with excitement and dread, as I’m emptying our home

Gm             C                  Dm           F                   

I’ll never forget leaving everything I’ve ever known

Gm             C                          F                   

It’s a little bit of a big deal, but that’s how it goes

VERSE 3:

F                                                                   

It never gets easier saying goodbye, it’s

Dm

so hard to balance what weights on my mind

Gm                                                               

Holding out hope for the future. Letting

 C

go of what I left behind

CHORUS 2:

F                     Dm                      Am C

I’m in over my head, and I’m out of my comfort zone

F                     Dm                      Am. C

Filled with excitement and dread, as I’m emptying our home

Gm             C                  Dm           F                   

I’ll never forget leaving everything I’ve ever known

Gm             C                         F                   

It’s a little bit of a big deal, and I’ll take it wherever I go.

Dm                                  

Don’t know if my instinct is right. Don’t know what I’ll think at the

Am

time, I said it all along, I might have got it wrong.

Dm                                  

If you think about your options too much, you stop trying, you start giving

Am

up. Whatever way you choose, whichever way you lose.

C

However

D E

I said it all along I might have got it wrong

G F A

The same thing could be said for getting it right

E D

Whatever way you choose, whichever way you lose

E D C A C

Unless you never cared about the prize

D E

I never asked for proof ‘cos finding out the truth

G F A

could be worse than living in a lie

E D

If you’re looking for peace of mind, you’ve got to recognise

E D C A

There’s never gonna be a right time.

Dm                                  

I don’t want to go out searching for signs. I don’t know if I’ll like what I’ll

Am

find. I never ask for proof, don’t wanna hear the truth.

Dm                                  

You gotta take a second to wait. You’re either standing still or running

Am

late. If you’re looking for peace of mind you’ll be looking a long time

C

However

D E

I said it all along I might have got it wrong

G F A

The same thing could be said for getting it right

E D

Whatever way you choose, whichever way you lose

E D C A C

Unless you never cared about the prize

D E

I never asked for proof ‘cos finding out the truth

G F A

could be worse than living in a lie

E D

If you’re looking for peace of mind, you’ve got to recognise

E D C A

There’s never gonna be a right

Fmaj7 Em7

time. Maybe sometime I’ll think in the future

Am7 Gmaj7

Looking back I’m happy that it’s over now.

C

However

D E

I said it all along I might have got it wrong

G F A

The same thing could be said for getting it right

E D

Whatever way you choose, whichever way you lose

E D C A C

Unless you never cared about the prize
