Intro: C  G  Am  G
      (Am G  F   G)

C                           G
 Cardboard cutouts on the floor
                            Am                               F  G
 People wish that you were more like what they wanted you to be
        C                                 G
 Eventually they won't have much of you at all in their theology
     Am
 The walls are closing in on you
        F                  G    C
 You cannot be contained at all

C                             G
 I don't want to make you small
                          Am
 I don't want to fit you in my pocket
 F                  G
 A cross around my throat
        C                         G
 'Cause You are brighter than the sun
                     Am
 You're closer than the tiny thoughts I have of you
    F              G             C
 But I could never fathom you at all
       G         Am        F
 Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oooh...

C                      G
 Broken moldings all around
                        Am
 Broken people hit the ground
                                     F             G
 When they discover that you're not here for our benefit
C
 You love in spite of us
    G                         Am                                    F
 You use the least of us to prove the strong aren't really strong at all

  C                             G
 And I don't want to make you small
                          Am
 I don't want to fit you in my pocket
 F                  G
 A cross around my throat
        C                         G
 'Cause You are brighter than the sun
                     Am
 You're closer than the tiny thoughts I have of you
    F              G             C
 But I could never fathom you at all
       G         Am        F
 Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oooh...
C          G         Am        F
 Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oooh

  C                             G
 And I don't want to make you small
                          Am
 I don't want to fit you in my pocket
 F                  G
 A cross around my throat
        C                         G
 'Cause You are brighter than the sun
                     Am
 You're closer than the tiny thoughts I have of you
    F              G             C   G  Am  G      Am G  F C
 But I could never fathom you at all
