[Verse 1]:
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
This is man's delight
 
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]:
  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
 
[Guitar harmony, see above]
 
[Chorus]:
  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
 
[Verse/Outro]:
Am
So, what of my meaning?
Am
What am I trying to say?
Am D       Am
What of my caution?
      G      Am
I'm a man anyway
      G      Am
I'm a man anyway
 
[Repeat line as long as you want, together with the first two bars of the guitar harmony]
