[D]Well this is jus[A]t a simp[D]le song[A]
[D]To say what you'[A]ve done[D] [A]
[D]I told you about[A] all tho[D]se fears[A]
[D]And the way they did run[A] [D]
Your show must be [A]strong[G]
And you feel like an ocean
They'd want by the sun[D] [A] [D] [A] [D]
[D]When I was just [A]9 years [D]old[A]
[D]I swear that I d[A]reamt[D] [A]
[D]Your face on a f[A]ootball [D]field[A]
[D]And a kiss that [A]I kept[D]
Under my ves[A]t[G]
Apart from everything but the heart in my chest[D] [A] [D]
[Bm]I know that things[D] can really get rough[G]
When you go it alone
[Bm]Don't go thin[D]king you gotta be tough[G]
To play like a stone
[Bm]Could be there's nothing el[D]se in our lives[G]
So critical
As this little hole
[D]My life in an up[A]turned b[D]oat[A]
[D]Marooned on a cl[A]iff[D] [A]
[D]You brought me a[A] great b[D]ig flood[A]
[D]And you gave me [A]a lift[D]
To care, what[A] a [G]gift
And you tell me with your tongue
And you're breath was in my lungs
And you float over the rift[Bm]
I know that things[D] can really get rough[G]
When you go it alone
[Bm]Don't go thinki[D]ng you gotta be tough[G]
To play like a stone
[Bm]Could be there's nothing e[D]lse in our lives[G]
So critical
As this little hole
*BRIDGE*

[D]Well this'll be [A]a simple[D] song[A]
[D]To say what you'[A]ve done[D] [A]
[D]I told you about[A] all tho[D]se fears[A]
[D]And the way they did run[A] [D]
Your show must be stro[A]ng[G]
And you feel like an ocean
They'd want by the sun[D]
[Bm]Remember walking a [D]mile to your house[G]
A glow in the dark
[Bm]I made a fumbly[D] play for your heart[G]
And the extra, a spark
[Bm]You're are a trauma, [D]a chain that I stole[G]
Especial for you
[Bm]Love's just a delicat[D]e thing that we'd do[G]
We've nothing to prove
Which I never knew[D]
