B
Nine years old, took a rocket to the moon
In a cardboard box, told 'em, "I'ma see you soon"
I'm onto bigger, onto better
Snap a picture, hit the clicker
I'll be on the television

B
Nineteen years old, didn't get no sleep
        F#
Had a spiral notebook and a pocket full of dreams
      E
Onto bigger, onto better
Ain't a quitter under pressure
Making moves like Bobby Fischer

        G#m F# E
I could be someone
    G#m F#   E
When I grow up

Chorus:
                B
I'm gonna be a big deal
      F#
Be a big shot
Don't think too small, don't put me in a box
       E
I'm a big deal, I'm a big shot
C#m       D#m      E F#
Make 'em stop and say
I'm gonna be a big deal
Be a big shot
Don't think too small, don't put me in a box
Doubt me? Just sit back and watch
Make 'em stop and say

Try to stay loose, but your chest gets tight
Call a white flag truce, you could waive one tonight
But you give it another minute
'Cause you're that one in a million
Longshot singin'

I could be someone
When I grow up

Chorus:
I'm gonna be a big deal
Be a big shot
Don't think too small, don't put me in a box
I'm a big deal, I'm a big shot
Make 'em stop and say
I'm gonna be a big deal
Be a big shot
Don't think too small, don't put me in a box
Doubt me? Just sit back and watch
Make 'em stop and say

         B
I've got one, two, three more
             F#
lines on my face than I did
       E
And I wish that I could go back
and talk to that kid

Chorus:
Say, "You're gonna be a big deal
Be a big shot
Don't think too small, let 'em put you in a box
You're a big deal, you're a big shot"
Make 'em stop and say
I'm gonna be a big deal
Be a big shot
Don't think too small, don't put me in a box
I'm a big deal, I'm a big shot
Make 'em stop and say

I'm gonna be a big deal
Be a big shot
Don't think too small, don't put me in a box
Doubt me? Just sit back and watch
Make 'em stop and say
