Key: D Minor
Year: 1992
Tabbed By: J-Gatz
I tried to indicate where the chord hits are in the verse. If anyone wants to clean 
it up a bit, they're welcome to it. Some of the chords have to be inverted a bit 
for them to sound right, but they work. (bass notes are in parentheses.)

The song is often played live in E minor. For the live version, see She's Actual Size (Live)


Verse:

            Dm  
Words fail,    Buildings tumble
                      A7 A7
The ground opens wide
Dm
Light beams down from heaven
Gm            A7     Dm
She stands before my eyes

Chorus:

      Dm(D)    F(C)        Bb6add9(Bb)  A7(A)    Dm
She's actual size, but she seems  much bigger to me
Gm               A7                  Dm   F+5                Dm      F
Squares may look distant in her rear view mirror but they're actual size
Dm       A+       Dm   Ddim(D) F(C)   Bb-5(Bb) F+(A)
As she drives away

Big men
Often tremble
As they step aside
I thought I was big once
She changed my mind

She's actual size, but she seems much bigger to me.
I've never known anybody like her, she's actual size
Nationwide, believe

She's got
All the money
Money couldn't buy
She's got something special
That someone left behind

She's actual size, but she seems much bigger to me
Squares may look distant in her rear view mirror but they're actual size
Actual size to her

Her face
Hangs in portrait
On the post office wall
She's stuck in my heart now
Where my blood belongs

She's actual size, but she seems much bigger to me
I've never known anybody like her, she's actual size
Actual size, believe
