well this is just a simple song

D A D A
to say what you’ve done

D A D A
i told you about all those fears

D A D
and the way they did run

A G
your show must be strong

and you feel like an ocean

D A D A D
they’d want by the sun

D A D A
when i was just 9 years old

D A D A
i swear that i dreamt

D A D A
your face on a football field

D A D
and a kiss that i kept

A G
under my vest

D A D
apart from everything but the heart in my chest

Bm D G
i know that things can really get rough

when you go it alone

Bm D G
don’t go thinking you gotta be tough

to play like a stone

Bm D G
could be there’s nothing else in our lives

so critical

as this little hole

D A D A
my life in an upturned boat

D A D A
marooned on a cliff

D A D A
you brought me a great big flood

D A D
and you gave me a lift

A G
to care , what a gift

and you tell me with your tongue

and you’re breath was in my lungs

Bm
and you float over the rift

D G
i know that things can really get rough

when you go it alone

Bm D G
don’t go thinking you gotta be tough

to play like a stone

Bm D G
could be there’s nothing else in our lives

so critical

as this little hole

remember walking a mile to your house

a glow in the dark

Bm D G
i made a fumbly play for your heart

and the extra , a spark

love’s just a delicate thing that we’d do

we’ve nothing to prove

D
which i never knew
