View chords used in this chart
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
C G
I don't know how it works, I don't know how to say
Dm G
I was thinking about us, it's the plainest thing
 
CHORUS
 
Dm F C
I forgot about it, it was just the plainest thing
