[Verse 1]
Am                                    Am
Brimstone fire and eyes aglow, little big boy's making
                         E     E
the whole world know his name, name.
Am                                    Am
Raised on pillars and shining lights, breathing smoke for the right
            E      E
to keep his place, place.

[Pre-Chorus]
      Dm
Never satisfied 'till they all see
    E               E
how big this little boy can be.

[Chorus]
          F               G              C        Am
Well, the water's rising,   tides comin' in.
            F       G           E            E
Does little big boy know how to swim?
     F                G      E/G#        Am
In a pond filled with   fish bigger than him
           D         D               E      E       ( Am )
oh, little big boy's   gonna see how little he really is.

[Interlude]
| Am            | E             | Am            | E             |

[Verse 2]
         Am                                     Am
Well, he clawed up cliffs 'till he was sick but desperation
                   E               E
is a tricky fickle thing, it never really sits still.
    Am                                     Am
And all getting higher is gonna do is make you look as small
                         E          E
as the whole world looks to you, to you.

[Pre-Chorus]
      Dm
Never satisfied 'till they all see
    E               E
how big this little boy can be.

[Chorus]
          F               G              C        Am
Well, the water's rising,   tides comin' in.
            F       G           E            E
Does little big boy know how to swim?
     F                G      E/G#        Am
In a pond filled with   fish bigger than him
           D         D               E      E       ( Am )
oh, little big boy's   gonna see how little he really is.

[Bridge]
          F               G                   E             Am
Well, the water's lapping at your heels, boy, do you really feel like
    F                   G                 E         ( E )
the worlds gonna end if you're not at the top?
       F                   G                E                Am
'Cause once you claim that throne, once you call it all your own,
                 E* E*          E* E*                E* E*
the climb never (never), never (never), never stops (never).

| Am            | E             | Am            | E             |

[End-Chorus]
          F               G              C                Am
Well, the water's rising,   tides comin' in (tides coming in).
            F       G           E            E
Does little big boy know how to swim?
     F                G      E/G#        Am
In a pond filled with   fish bigger than him,
           D         D               E      E
oh, little big boy's   gonna see how little,
           D          D               E         E    ( Am )
oh, little big boy's,   gonna see how little he really is.
