Think about a bad time, can't get much worse.

The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]
Think about a bad time, can't get much worse.
Think about a hard line, take it to the wall.
This won't be the last time, sure ain't the first -
The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
Aspen, Colorado on a Saturday night,
Jesse wishes she was at home.
She's mad because her baby ain't treating her right,
A5 C - G
She's so afraid of being alone.
A5 C - G
We're so afraid of being alone.
A5 C - G
Nobody wants to be all alone, no more.
A5 C - G - A5
I don't wanna sleep all alone, no more.
(Words and music by John Denver, 1984)
Notes: John often played the song in the key of C, but when he wrote it in 1984, he mostly played it in D.
