Intro:

FF

Verse 1:

     FF
Love is simple when it's broken
      C majorC
It's the softest words ever spoken
          DmDm
And I said I was kidding, but I was jokin'
     C/GC/G
Now I'm twisted up and lost in thought
     FF
But I remember what I was thinking
       C majorC
All those feelings always sinking
      DmDm
All that waiting to take that stage
     C/GC/G
And the feeling we could, let 'em wait

Verse 2:

   FF
Hey Steven, how's Sally?
      C majorC
How're the peaks and how're the valleys?
      DmDm
I've been down some, but I'll rally
      C/GC/G
Have you found something to sink your teeth into?
     FF
Keep it even, keep her happy
      C majorC
Don't be afraid to love her madly
       DmDm
And she will steer you and keep you afloat
    C/GC/G
As you row that boat until you both let go someday


Interlude:

FF  C majorC | FF  C majorC | FF  C majorC | FF  C majorC |
FF   | C majorC   |

Verse 3:

     FF
So is it simple? Being older?
     C majorC
We've got all these kids upon our shoulders
         DmDm
See, I just get softer, the world gets colder
     C/GC/G
Now I'm twisted up and lost in thought
      FF
But do you remember? The night got late?
C majorC
Equations were recalculating in my veins
     DmDm
And you saved my life in the final round
       C/GC/G
Some kind of paper cup tea, some hell-bath festival ground


Verse 4:

  FF
Hey Steven, how's Sally?
      C majorC
How're the peaks and how're the valleys?
       DmDm
And I've been down some, but I'll rally
     C/GC/G
Have you found something to sink your teeth into?
    FF
Keep it even, keep her happy
     C majorC
Don't be afraid to love her madly
      DmDm
We should recap, lay it on me
   C/GC/G
The good the bad, the in-between


Verse 5:

   FF
Hey Steven, are you happy?
        C majorC
And how're the kids, man? How's that family?
       DmDm
They cannot spare you from the valleys
       C/GC/G
But they will give you something you can lean into
      FF
So keep it even, keep her happy
     C majorC
Don't be afraid to love her madly
         DmDm
'Cause she will steer you and keep you afloat
    C/GC/G
As you row that boat until you both let go someday
