I'm Not So Little Anymore - Dean Tuftin


**Capo 3**


Intro: D  G  A (x2)

        D             G
He was thirteen in a grown man's body
       A                      D
I was sixty pounds soaken wet
                         G
And he'd bully me out of my milk money
         A                     D
Just to keep him in cigarettes
                   G
He was no stranger to the 5th grade
         A                  D
Biggest child I'd ever seen
                      G
Double up his fists, double me over
      A                               D 
Cause I wasn't yellow, just a little green


Chorus:
        D                G               A             D
Oh but what I'd give to see him now and reintroduce myself
                          G                A
Resurrect some childhood memories put some new ones on the shelf
           D                  G
And if he didn't remember me I'd sure remind him
   A                           Bm-A
I wish he'd walk through that door
       G          A         D
Cause I'm not so little anymore

D  G  A

       D                 G
I was going out for the football team
    A                     D
My big dream finally here
                              G
When the coach walked up and said hey boy 
        A                             D
Little girls ain't welcome round here
                              G
I could jump like a deer and run like the wind
        A                       D
But he never played me one game
                      G
I sat on the bench ignored and forgotten
       A                          D
Don't even think he ever knew my name


CHORUS


Instrumental break: D  G  A  A  D  G  A  D


     Bm               G
So I sat beside some blue-eyed angel
    D              A
And man I fell in love
        Bm                  A
She was two years older and I would've told her
       G                       A
But I never got the courage up


Last Chorus:
Oh but what I'd give to see her now and reintroduce myself
Resurrect some childhood memories put some new ones on the shelf
And if she didn't remember me I'd sure remind her
I wish she'd walk through that door
Cause I'm not so little anymore
