Six foot      six he stood on the ground, 
                  (C/G)                                             
he weighted two -     hundred-and-thirty-five pounds
               Dm/A                        G                           
But I saw that      giant of a man brought    down 
                C/G                                                
to his knees by      love
C/G 

           C/G                                                     
He was the      kind of a man who would gamble on luck
                C/G                                                
Look you in the      eye and never back up
               Dm/A                               G                     
But I saw him       crying like a little whipped     pup -
            C/G                                                     
because of      love

Can't see it with your      eyes, hold it in your      hands
              Em/B                        Am                             
But like the        wind that covers our     land
                 F                          Dm/A                       
Strong enough to      rule the heart of every       man, 
                  G                                              
this thing called    love
        C/G                            F                             
It can      lift you up, never let you      down
           Em/B                        A7 /                               
Take your        world and turn it all      around
G       A         C/G                           G                            
   Ever    since      time nothing's ever been     found -
                     C/G

              C/G                                                  
Most men like      me they struggle and doubt, 
                   C/G                                             
They trouble their      minds day in and day out
               Dm/A                     G                              
Too busy with       livin' to worry a -    bout 
                   C/G

But when I see a      mother's tenderness, 
                 C/G                                               
as she holds her      young close to her breast
               Dm/A                            G                        
Then I thank        God that the world?s been     blessed -
                     C/G

It can      lift you up, never let you      down
