In A Big Country

Intro: D   G/D   D    G/D     D   G/D    D   G/D 



[Verse 1]

D                            G 
Ive never seen you look like this without a reason 
D                      G 
Another promise fallen through 
        Em     D/F#   D/A 
Another season passes by you 


Link: G     Em9 


[Verse 2]

D                      G 
I never took the smile away from anybody's face 
D                             G 
And that's a desperate way to look 
            Em     F#      A 
For someone who is still a child 



[Chorus]
 
Bm7  D           G      A 
In a big country dreams stay with you 
Bm7    D             Bm7       D       D/A 
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside 
G    Em9    D    Em   D   G 
Stay alive, 



[Verse 3]
 
D                                  Gmaj7 
I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered 
        Bm                   Em                        D 
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered

[Bridge]

D5                            G5 
So take that look out of here it doesn't fit you 
B5                            E5 
Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded 
D5                               G5 
Pull up your head off the floor, come up screaming 
B5                         E5 
Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted 
D5                                 G5 
I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered 
        B5                   E5                        D 
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered,

[Verse 4]
 
D                         G 
I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert 
D                  G 
But I can live and breathe 
            Em     G     A 
And see the sun in wintertime
