| 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 bi | g 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 bi | g 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 g | arden 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 bi | g people |
| D | |
| in the big hard | world |
| (Repeat and Fade) |
