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  
		C  
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  
		C  
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  
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  
		C  
A big hard sun  
		G  
beaten on the big people  
		D  
in the big hard world
