[Verse 1]
Bm                  G
  Winter's cityside, crystal bits of snowflakes
A                           F#m
All around my head and in the wind
Bm                  G
  I had no illusions that I'd ever find
  A                                  F#m    F#
A glimpse of summer's heatwaves in your eyes
Bm        G               A
  You did what you did to me
         F#m       G
Now it's history I see
          Em              F#
Here's my comeback on the road again
Bm            G                 A
  Things will happen while they can
       F#m       G
I will wait here for my man tonight
     Em               F#
It's easy when you're big in Japan

[Chorus]
                     Bm      G
When you're big in Japan, tonight
         A        F#m
Big in Japan, be tight
       G              Em             F#m
Big in Japan, ooh the Eastern sea's so blue
         Bm     G
Big in Japan, alright
          A                  F#m
Pay, then I'll sleep by your side
           G                Em       F#
Things are easy when you're big in Japan

Oh, you're big in Japan...

[Verse 2]
Bm                 G
  Neon on my naked skin

Passing silhouettes
   A                        F#m
Of strange illuminated mannequins
Bm                          G
  Should I stay here at the zoo
                            A
Or shall I go and change my point of view
             F#m     F#
For other ugly scenes
Bm        G               A
  You did what you did to me
         F#m      G  F#
Now it's history I   see
Bm            G                 A
  Things will happen while they can
       F#m       G
I will wait here for my man tonight
     Em               F#
It's easy when you're big in Japan

[Chorus]
                     Bm      G
When you're big in Japan, tonight
         A        F#m
Big in Japan, be tight
       G              Em             F#m
Big in Japan, ooh the Eastern sea's so blue
         Bm     G
Big in Japan, alright
          A                  F#m
Pay, then I'll sleep by your side
           G                Em       F#
Things are easy when you're big in Japan

[Chorus]
                     Bm      G
Oh, you're big in Japan, tonight
         A        F#m
Big in Japan, be tight
       G              Em             F#m
Big in Japan, ooh the Eastern sea's so blue
         Bm     G
Big in Japan, alright
          A                  F#m
Pay, then I'll sleep by your side
           G                Em       F#
Things are easy when you're big in Japan

Oh, you're big in Japan...

Big in Japan, alright
