Bigger Picture

F#m  E  D      F#m  E  A D   

     F#m  E  A       F#m  E  A

        F#m                 E      
Took an old scrapbook off a closet 
A
shelf
F#m                          E
Dusted off the cover, dusted off 
     A
myself
F#m                     E         D
Laid it in my lap and I opened it up
        F#m          E     A
To find who I am and who I was
F#m                    E         
Wonder Woman cape on a wide eyed 
A
girl
F#m                  E          
Dreams too big for a small town 
A
world
F#m                      E       
Faded red ribbon from my first 
    D
track meet
F#m                    E          A
Second place never was enough for me

E
You wanna win but you compromise
    D                A
You lose yourself in all the lies
E                            
Till you're someone you hardly 
       D
recognize

         D                         
Oh, they say you can't move forward
             A
 when you're looking back
        D                           
       A                    (G# bass
 note)
But I'm hoping there's some answers 
hidden somewhere in the past
      F#m       (E bass note)       
D               (C# bass note)  Bm
Every snapshot memory       Missing 
piece just might put me back 
together
D (ring)                  F#m     E 
A
   Help me see the bigger picture

F#m            E      A
White corsage, senior prom
F#m                            E 
Christmas from the year that I 
      A
lost my mom
F#m                          E   
Wedding day, waving from the back
      D
 of a car
       F#m             E      A
Before broken vows and broken hearts

        E                       
Now I'm time and tears and years 
                D               A
removed from a world of hurt I can't
 undo
E                                 
Lost and searching for some kinda 
D
clue

[Chorus]
         D                         
Oh, they say you can't move forward
             A
 when you're looking back
        D                          
But I'm hoping there's some answers
        A                    (G#)
 hidden somewhere in the past
      F#m       (E)               
Every snapshot memory       
  D               (C#)           
Missing piece just might put me back
Bm
 together
D (ring)                  F#m
   Help me see the bigger picture

(F#m)  E  D        F#m  Bm  E

    D                    E     
The girl I thought I was   isn't 
                D
lost in yesterday
                      E (ring)
Am I strong enough to turn another 
page?

[Chorus]
     D                             
They say you can't move forward 
         A
when you're looking back
        D                          
But I'm hoping there's some answers
        A                    (G#)

      F#m       (E)               
Every snapshot memory       
  D               (C#)           
Missing piece just might put me back

   Help me see the bigger picture   
 Oh, the bigger picture

        F#m                 E      
Took an old scrapbook off a closet

F#m                   E       
Dusted off the cover, dusted off
