D A D A
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

Well this'll be a simple song
D A D A
To say what you've done
D A D A
I told you about all those fears

And the way they did run
A G
Your show must be strong
And you feel like an ocean
D
They'd want by the sun
Bm D G
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
Bm D G
You're are a trauma, a chain that I stole
Especial for you
Bm D G
Love's just a delicate thing that we'd do
We've nothing to prove
D
Which I never knew
