VERSE I
C G
I found a mark, where the ink bled through
Dm G
Under a song I was writing for you
C G
Crumbled up in a drawer, stained with blue
Dm G
Quiet and easy, what I wanted to prove
[Refrão] C F
The plainest thing, the plainest thing
Dm F C
I walk right by it, it's just the plainest thing
VERSE II
C G
Sun hits the floor, same as shadows will
Dm G
So I sat in the light, and I stayed very still
C G
Heat on my skin, bright in my face
Dm G
I didn't have any questions, I didn't feel out of place
CHORUS
SOLO: C G Dm F C
VERSE III

I don't know how it works, I don't know how to say
