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
