[E]
[Am] [D]
Well, it's a change in the ocean, change in the sea.
Woke up one morning, was a change in me.
Put on my pants, pants fell down.
Well, I put on my shoes and they fell off too.
I looked in the mirror, was nothing to see.
That's how it goes [E] when you're a shrinking [Am] man like me.
[D]
Worried man with a worried soul.
Shrinking man ain't gonna be here long.
[Am]
[D]
[G] [D] Well, sometimes I worry about clothes.
Shrinking man's gotta look good sometime.
Don't need no sweatshop chime.
Putting the shoes on my feet this time.
Chained to a sewing machine.
Down in hell where the sun don't shine.
Look as good as you can.
But please don't rob your fellow man.
[G] Shrinking man, shrinking man.
Nobody was worried [Dm] about a shrinking [D] man.

[G]
[D] [G] [Bm] [D]
Sometimes I worry about food.
Well, the shrinking man's gotta eat right sometime.
I don't need much and I don't pay.
No starvation wait.
The poor boy's out on a poison ground.
[G] You don't rob the man.
Oh, [D] when you're just a little old shrinking man.
Shrinking man.
Nobody [G] was worried [D] about a shrinking man.
Worried man with a worried soul.
Shrinking [G] man ain't gonna be [D] here long.
Well, sometimes I worry about prayer.
Oh, the shrinking man better be a praying man.
Once I had a dream I was working.
I had good ideas.
I made big plans.
I'm just like a leaf in the wind that's blowing.
I hope King Jesus can understand.
Shrinking man, [G]
shrinking [D] man.
Nobody was [G] worried about a shrinking [D] man.
Worried man [G] with a [D] worried soul.
Shrinking man ain't gonna be here long.
Shrinking man.
Ain't no God that's gonna deny a shrinking man.
