Verse 1: 0:40
Am
  Stranger than the sunrise,
Am
  Darker than the night,
Am  D             Am
  Fiercer than a rainstorm,
G                Am
  This is man's delight,
G                Am    | Am
  This is man's delight.

Verse 2: 1:00
Am
  Weaker than a moment,
Am
  And hot as any fire,
Am  D                Am
  Blinder than the blind eye,
G                Am
  This is man's desire,
G                Am   | A
  This is man's desire.

Chorus: 1:20
   A                    Bm
I ran to a place in the open sea
          D                     G
Where I pledged my life to the sun.
        A
It was good for a while,
         Bm
I could laugh, I could smile,
            D
But when I woke up one day,
     E       Am ->
The sun had gone.

I ran to a place in the open sea

Verse 3: 2:37
Am
  So what of my meaning,
Am
  What am I trying to say?

I'm a man anyway.
