Made with skim milk, no whipped cream

But use the same amount of coffee

Of extra room on top

Without spilling any coffee at all

Your deal. What are you about?

Everyone’s got
D#D#   A#A#
A augmentedA big picture

Something they shoot for

We’ve all got
     E MajorE
An awful lot
A minorAm         F minorFm
To do before we’re dead
DmDm         C majorC
So, where do you see yourself

In, say, five years?

But that is not exactly
FF     C majorC
What I meant

Chorus:
C majorC
When I asked to hear
FF
Your big picture
D#D#     A#A#
Something beyond
G+G
Your daily routine
C majorC
Talk about
FF
Your big picture
A#A#
The fairy tale ending
FF          G+G
That you’ve always seen
   FF
I am sure
      E7E7
There’s something more
  A minorAm        F minorFm  DmDm
To you than doing chores
            FF
Everyone’s got a big picture in mind

Verse 3:
G+G      C majorC
So, what’s yours?
C majorC
Well, since you asked
FF              A#A#      FF
In five years
I’ll have an amazing apartment
C majorC
With bookshelves built into the walls
A#A#              FF
A augmentedA window that looks out on someplace big
C majorC
And a personal assistant who screens my calls
FF                  E MajorE
The book I write will be required reading
A minorAm                D MajorD
To get into the seminars that I’ll be leading
FF
That’s the plan
E7E7         A minorAm
As far as I can see it
D MajorD   F minorFm
And yet it
DmDm        FF
Isn’t quite apparent
C majorC         FF
What I’m supposed to do
    C majorC
To get it
(slowly)
C majorC
Some big picture
C majorC
How’s your tea?
C majorC
My what?
FF
Your tea?
FF
Oh, it’s sort of… gotten cold

(building up)

C majorC              DmDm
These stupid "baristas" don’t know how
DmDm      C majorC
To heat a proper –
FF
Deb, it’s really okay

Bridge:
G+G     A minorAm
Look
I know
DmDm
That we just met
DmDm
But it seems to me that maybe
C majorC       FF
You might wanna get
G+G
Some perspective on
C majorC        FF
This "big picture"
D#D#      A#A#
"Big," after all, is
G+G
A augmentedA relative term
C majorC
Maybe this whole
FF
"Big picture"
        A#A#
Shouldn’t be something
        G+G
On which you stand firm
C majorC
You’re in a rut
FF       E7E7
Who cares, so what
A minorAm          C majorC
If your picture’s not quite clear?
F minorFm
I mean, you and me
E MajorE      A minorAm
And lukewarm tea
Dm7Dm7
This could be
C majorC       G+G         C majorC
Your really big picture right here

(slowly)

C majorC
Oh my God, you’re right
FF
See?
FF           G+G
Sitting here at Starbucks drinking mediocre coffee
           C majorC
with a professional cat sitter is all my life is going to amount to
C majorC
That’s not really what I meant
N.C
No, it’s okay
I’m a strong woman
I can handle it

Not now
C#m7C#m7
Deb, there’s something I want to show you
C majorC               G+G
You can’t just leave me in the rain
G+G
And hope that things will wash away
Claire
