These are Bigger Person chords by Lauren Spencer-Smith on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.
[Intro]
G Bm Em Em D/F#
[Verse 1]
G
When you'd yell I would
stay silent
Bm
You never noticed I was quiet
Em
I was taught that speaking
D/F#
up was talking back
G
Always first to say, "I'm sorry"
Bm
'Cause I wanted you to like me
Em
And I thought that's what
D/F#
it took to make it last
[Pre-Chorus]
C
It's a lose-lose
D
That I don't choose
C
But you don't always
Cm
choose the ones you love
[Chorus]
Em C G
I shouldn't have to be
the bigger person
Em C
How come I have to break
G
to keep us working?
Em C
It's always up to me even
G B7
though it shouldn't be
C
I'll take the blame the
Cm
way you want me to
'Cause that's what
I'd do for you
G Bm Em D/F#
[Verse 2]
G
I was half of this dynamic
Bm
I was stable, you were manic
Em
Without you or with you,
D/F#
comes with a cost
G
I got used to the excuses
Bm
And emotional abuses
Em
We kept moving the lines
D/F#
we'd never cross
[Pre-Chorus]
C
It's a lose-lose
D
That I don't choose
C
But you don't always
Cm
choose the ones you love

I always think it's over
G
but it never really is
Em
'Cause I can't get the closure
E Am
when you're like this
D
Can we switch
[Bridge]
Em C G
Maybe this time you'll be
the bigger person
Em C
'Cause I'm getting tired of
G
bearing all your burden
Em C
It should be up to you,
G B7
but you won't admit the truth,
ooh-ooh
[Chorus]

I shouldn't have to be
