[Verse 1]
Dm
   Winter cityside
Bb                            C                           A
   Crystal bits of snowflakes all around my head and in the wind
Dm
   I had no illusions
Bb                      C                                  A
   That I'd ever find a glimpse of summer's heatwaves in your eyes
Dm         Bb              C            A         Bb
   You did what you did to me, now it's history I see
          Gm              A
Here's my comeback on the road again
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm             Bb                C
   Things will happen while they can
       Am               Bb                Gm               A
I will wait here for my man tonight, it's easy when you're big in Japan
 
[Chorus]
                         Dm     Bb
Oh, when you're big in Japan, tonight
         C       Am              Bb           Gm             A
Big in Japan, be tight, big in Japan, ooh the eastern sea's so blue
         Dm     Bb               C                  Am
Big in Japan, alright, pay, then I'll sleep by your side
           Bb               Gm       A                            Dm
Things are easy when you're big in Japan, oh when you're big in Japan

[Verse 2]
Dm
   Neon on my naked skin
Bb                        C                         A
   Passing silhouettes of strange illuminated mannequins
Dm                          Bb
   Shall I stay here at the zoo
                             C                          A
Or should I go and change my point of view for other ugly scenes
Dm         Bb              C            A        Bb   Gm   A
   You did what you did to me, now it's history IIIIIIIIIIIII see
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm             Bb                C
   Things will happen while they can
       Am               Bb                Gm               A
I will wait here for my man tonight, it's easy when you're big in Japan
 
[Chorus]
                         Dm     Bb
Oh, when you're big in Japan, tonight
         C       Am              Bb           Gm             A
Big in Japan, be tight, big in Japan, ooh the eastern sea's so blue
         Dm     Bb               C                  Am
Big in Japan, alright, pay, then I'll sleep by your side
           Bb               Gm       A
Things are easy when you're big in Japan
 
                         Dm     Bb
Oh, when you're big in Japan, tonight
         C       Am               Bb           Gm             A
Big in Japan, be tight, big in Japan, ooh the eastern sea's so blue
         Dm     Bb               C                  Am
Big in Japan, alright, pay, then I'll sleep by your side
           Bb               Gm       A                            Dm
Things are easy when you're big in Japan, oh when you're big in Japan
