D#
when i walk beside her
C#
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
C#
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
A#m
a big hard sun
G#
beaten on the big people
D#
in the big hard world
D#
when she comes to greet me
C#
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
C#
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
A#m
a big hard sun
G#
beaten on the big people
D#
in the big hard world
D#
when i’m cold across that river
C#
she’s comfortable by my side
G#
when i try to understand she just
D#
opens up her hands
D#
there’s a big
A#m
a big hard sun
G#
beaten on the big people
D#
in the big hard world
D#
once i stood to lose her
C#
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
C#
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
A#m
a big hard sun
G#
beaten on the big people
D#
in the big hard world
( repeat and fade )
D#
