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

[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
                      Cm
 the way you want me to
'Cause that's what 
               Am
I'd do for you
[Post-Chorus]
                    D    
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]
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
