Steve Forbert - A Big Comeuppance lyrics

VERSE 1 A big comeuppance is a thing'll bring you down to the ground A big comeuppance says tonight you won't be wearin' no crown You never see it coming from nowhere Especially not no strawberry blonde A big comeuppance is a thing you have to make it beyond VERSE 2 A big comeuppance is a thing'll put a dent in your today A big comeuppance is a thing there won't be much you can say You know it's going to mess up your weekend However hard you try to pretend A big comeuppance brings a lot of stuff you'd thought to an end BRIDGE: I mean to tell you I mean to tell you I mean to tell you so; You might as well you You might as well you You might as well now know VERSE 3 A big comeuppance is a thing that shoots you down from your perch A big comeuppance says you'll have to rea**ess your research She only drove back up here to tell you Some words she'd been rehearsing I'll bet A big comeuppance is a thing I guess you won't soon forget [INSTRUMENTAL SOLO OVER VERSE CHORDS] [BRIDGE] VERSE 4 A big comeuppance is a thing that puts you back in your place A big comeuppance is a thing that throws some facts in your face You think you're not gonna let it affect you It's only what it is 'cause it's true A big comeuppance is a thing it's not like nothin' you knew VERSE CHORDS TO FADE
