D
When I walk beside her
Cadd9
I am the better man
     G
When I look to leave her
        D
I always stagger back again

D
Once I built an Ivory tower
Cadd9
so I could worship from above
     G
When I climb down to be set free
        D
she took me in again

D
there's a big
                Am7
A big hard sun
                G
beaten on the big people
                D
in the big hard world

D
When she comes to greet me
Cadd9
She is mercy at my feet
     G
When I see her pin her charm
        D
She just throws it back at me

D
Once I dug an early grave
Cadd9
To find a better land
      G
She just smile and laughed at me
        D
And took her bruise back again

D
there's a big
                Am7
A big hard sun
                G
beaten on the big people
                D
in the big hard world

(Repeat x2)
D
When I go to cross that river
Cadd9
She is comfort by my side
     G
When I try to understand
        D
She just opens up her hands

D
there's a big
                Am7
A big hard sun
                G
beaten on the big people
                D
in the big hard world

(Repeat x2)

D
Once I stood to lose her
Cadd9
when I saw what I had done
        G
bound down and flew away the hours
        D
of her garden and her sun

D
so I tried to warn her
Cadd9
I turned to see her weep
     G
40 days and 40 nights
        D
and it's still coming down on me

D
there's a big
                Am7
A big hard sun
                G
beaten on the big people
                D
in the big hard world

(Repeat and Fade)
