In A Big Country

             E
(Shot! Shot!)

[Verse 1]
E                             A
I've never seen you look like this without a reason
E                       A
Another promise fallen through
        F#m    A      B
Another season passes by you

[Hook]
B A       F#m
   (Shot!)

[Verse 2]
E                       A
I never took the smile away from anybody's face
E                             A
And that's a desperate way to look
            F#m     A      B
For someone who is still a child

[Chorus]
C#m      E           A       B
And in a big country dreams stay with you
C#m    E                                   A
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
      F#m E F#m
Stay alive

[Verse 3]
E                                   A
I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
                   C#m       F#m                       E
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered

[Solo]
E A E

[Verse 4]
E                         A
I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert
E
But I can live and breathe
    A       F#m    A     B
And see the sun in wintertime

[Chorus]
C#m      E           A       B
And in a big country dreams stay with you
C#m    E             C#m       E           A
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
      F#m
Stay alive
C#m  E           A       B
In a big country dreams stay with you
C#m    E                                   A
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
      F#
Stay alive

[Instrumental]
E A C#m F#m

[Bridge]
E                             A
So take that look out of here it doesn't fit you
C#m                           F#m
Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded
E                                A
Pull up your head off the floor, come up screaming
C#m                        F#m
Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted
E                                   A
I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
        C#m                  F#m                       E
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered

[Hook]

[Final Verse]
E                         A
I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert
E
But I can live and breathe
    A       F#m    F#    B
And see the sun in wintertime

[Chorus]
C#m      E           A       B
And in a big country dreams stay with you
C#m    E             C#m       E           A
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
      F#m
Stay alive
C#m  E           A       B
In a big country dreams stay with you
C#m    E                                   A
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
      F#m
Stay alive
