VERSE
A G
You may have seen a thread of silver, On the window in the bathroom
Bm D
That was thicker than the thread your heart was hanging from
A G
You may have seen a lid of darkness, Clamping down upon a sunset

No less tightly than your heart was being strung
CHORUS

And it ll hold you like no other in the bigger picture
VERSE
A G
You may have seen the first star flickering, In the park one summer evening
Bm D
No less faintly than the dream that you were wishing on
A G
You may have seen the seagulls circling, On the haze above the factory
F#m A
With more purpose than the course your life was on
Em F#m
But if you haven t seen the places you have come from,
G A
Then you haven’t seen how far you have come
CHORUS

In the bigger picture theres a dream eighteen times greater
D G Em G D
And it ll steer you like no other in the bigger picture
VERSE
A G
You may have seen a blazing bonfire, Burning bright with fickle beauty
Bm D
That was turned to lifeless ashes in the morning
A G
You may have seen a single snowdrop, Where it shivered in the graveyard
F#m A
No less fragile than the soul to which you cling
Em F#m
But if you haven t seen the people you have come from,
G A
Then you haven t seen the person youve become
CHORUS
D G D
In the bigger picture theres no answer to your prayers
F#m G Gm
In the bigger picture but theres a billion other fires
D G Bm
In the bigger picture you ll learn how to build yours higher
D G Em G D
When you’ve seen the savage wonder in the bigger picture

In the bigger picture theres a sea breeze three times fresher
D G Em G D
And it ll make your two eyes water in the bigger picture
