Dm
I know I'm big and proud all over, not just on the stage
Dm
my secret self has many sides

red to white
Dm
I'm pure inside and silent

Dm                    C
I've got a piece of my heart

on the sole of your shoe
                           F
I've got a little bit of thunder
                        G
trapped inside of that cloud

that dog in you spit me out into the mississippi

the one who is always alone

I've got a little bit of thunder
                        G
trapped inside of that cloud
      A      G         D              E
that dog in you spit me out into the mississippi

I feel I'm... dying
