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 climbed down to be set free
     D#
She took me in again

Chorus:
D#
There's a big
            A#m
A big hard sun
                    G#
Beatin' on the big people
                 D#
In the big hard world

When she comes to greet me
She is mercy at my feet
And I, I see her inner charm
She just throws it back at me

Once I dug an early grave
To find a better land
She just smiled and laughed at me
And took her rules back again

Chorus - x2

When I go to cross that river
She is comfort by my side
When I try to understand
She just opens up her hands

Chorus

Once I stood to lose her
When I saw what I had done
Bowed down and threw away the hours
Of her garden and her sun

So I tried to warn her
I turned to see her weep
Forty days and forty nights
And it's still coming down on me

Chorus - x2
