Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Six  foot six stood on the ground, weighted 235 pounds
 But I saw that giant  of a man brought down  to his knees by love
He  was the kind of a man who would gamble on love
 Look you in the eye and never back up
 But I saw him crying  like a little whipped pup  because of love
Can't  see it with your eyes, hold it in your hands
 Like the rules  that govern our land
 Strong enough to rule  the heart of every man,  this thing called love
It  can lift you up, it can put you down
Take  your world and turn it all around
 Ever since time  nothing's ever been found  that’s stronger than love
 Men like me they worry and doubt
 Trouble their minds day in and day out
 Too busy with livin' to worry about a little word like love
 But when I see a mother's tenderness
 As she holds her young close to her breast
 Then I thank God that the worlds
