Small

Intro: C  G  Am  G
      (Am G  F   G)

C                           G
 Cardboard cutouts on the floor
                            Am     
 People wish that you were more 
                          F  G
like what they wanted you to be
        C                          
 Eventually they won't have much of
       G
 you at all in their theology
     Am
 The walls are closing in on you
        F                  G    C
 You cannot be contained at all

C                             G
 I don't want to make you small
                          Am
 I don't want to fit you in my 
pocket
 F                  G
 A cross around my throat
        C                         
 'Cause You are brighter than the 
G
sun
                     Am
 You're closer than the tiny 
thoughts I have of you

    F              G             C
 But I could never fathom you at all
       G         Am        F
 Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oooh...

C                      G
 Broken moldings all around
                        Am
 Broken people hit the ground
 When they discover that you're not 
 F             G
here for our benefit
C
 You love in spite of us
    G                         Am  
 You use the least of us to prove 
                                  F
the strong aren't really strong at 
all

  C                             G
 And I don't want to make you small
                          Am
 I don't want to fit you in my 
pocket
 F                  G
 A cross around my throat

 You're closer than the tiny

 But I could never fathom you at all

 Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oooh...
C          G         Am        F
 Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oooh
