The Bigger Picture Stornoway
INTRO
D, G, D, G, Bmx2, G, Em, G, D
VERSE
You may have [A]seen a thread of silver, On the [G]window in the bathroom
That was [Bm]thicker than the thread your heart was [D]hanging from
You may have [A]seen a lid of darkness, Clamping [G]down upon a sunset
No less [F#m]tightly than your heart was being [A]strung
CHORUS
In the bigger [D]pict[G]ure theres a [D]thread thirteen times thinner
In the bigger pic[F#m]ture theres a [G]lid fourteen times [Gm]tighter
In the bigger [D]pic[G]ture theres a [Bm]night fifteen times darker
And it ll [D]hold you like no [G]other in the bigger [Em]pic[G]tu[D]re
VERSE
You may have [A]seen the first star flickering, In the [G]park one summer evening
No less [Bm]faintly than the dream that you were [D]wishing on
You may have [A]seen the seagulls circling, On the [G]haze above the factory
With more [F#m]purpose than the course your life was [A]on
But if you [Em]haven t seen the places you have [F#m]come from,
Then you [G]haven’t seen how far you have [A]come

CHORUS
In the bigger [D]pict[G]ure theres a [D]star sixteen times fainter
In the bigger pic[F#m]ture theres a [G]course seventeen times [Gm]straighter
In the bigger [D]pic[G]ture theres a [Bm]dream eighteen times greater
And it ll [D]steer you like no [G]other in the bigger [Em]pic[G]tu[D]re
VERSE
You may have [A]seen a blazing bonfire, Burning [G]bright with fickle beauty
That was [Bm]turned to lifeless ashes in the [D]morning
You may have [A]seen a single snowdrop, Where it [G]shivered in the graveyard
No less [F#m]fragile than the soul to which you [A]cling
But if you [Em]haven t seen the people you have [F#m]come from,
Then you [G]haven t seen the person youve be[A]come
CHORUS
In the bigger [D]pict[G]ure theres no [D]answer to your prayers
In the bigger pic[F#m]ture but theres a [G]billion other [Gm]fires
In the bigger [D]pic[G]ture you ll learn [Bm]how to build yours higher
When you’ve [D]seen the savage [G]wonder in the bigger [Em]pic[G]tu[D]re
In the bigger [D]pic[G]ture theres a sea [Bm]breeze three times fresher
And it ll [D]make your two eyes [G]water in the bigger [Em]pic[G]tu[D]re
