D MajorD		A augmentedA	D MajorD		A augmentedA
Well this is just a simple song

D MajorD		A augmentedA	D MajorD		A augmentedA
To say what you've done

D MajorD		A augmentedA	D MajorD		A augmentedA
I told you about all those fears

D MajorD			A augmentedA	D MajorD
And the way they did run

		 A augmentedA	    G+G
Your show must be strong

And you feel like an ocean

			    D MajorD	A augmentedA D MajorD	A augmentedA D MajorD
They'd want by the sun


D MajorD		A augmentedA	D MajorD		A augmentedA
When I was just 9 years old

D MajorD		A augmentedA	D MajorD		A augmentedA
I swear that I dreamt

D MajorD		A augmentedA	D MajorD		A augmentedA
Your face on a football field

D MajorD		A augmentedA	D MajorD
And a kiss that I kept

	  A augmentedA  G+G
Under my vest

							    D MajorD	A augmentedA D MajorD
Apart from everything but the heart in my chest

B minorBm		 D MajorD				 G+G
I know that things can really get rough


When you go it alone

B minorBm      D MajorD			    G+G
Don't go thinking you gotta be tough


To play like a stone

B minorBm             D MajorD			     G+G
Could be there's nothing else in our lives


So critical


As this little hole



D MajorD		A augmentedA	D MajorD		A augmentedA
My life in an upturned boat

D MajorD		A augmentedA	D MajorD		A augmentedA
Marooned on a cliff

D MajorD		A augmentedA	D MajorD		A augmentedA
You brought me a great big flood

D MajorD		A augmentedA	D MajorD
And you gave me a lift

	   A augmentedA	G+G
To care, what a gift


And you tell me with your tongue


And you're breath was in my lungs

				  B minorBm
And you float over the rift



		 D MajorD				 G+G
I know that things can really get rough


When you go it alone

B minorBm	    D MajorD                  G+G
Don't go thinking you gotta be tough


To play like a stone

B minorBm			 D MajorD				G+G
Could be there's nothing else in our lives


So critical


As this little hole


*BRIDGE*
G-Bm-G-D
G-Bm-G-G



D MajorD		A augmentedA	D MajorD		A augmentedA
Well this'll be a simple song

D MajorD		A augmentedA	D MajorD		A augmentedA
To say what you've done

D MajorD		A augmentedA	D MajorD		A augmentedA
I told you about all those fears

D MajorD			A augmentedA	D MajorD
And the way they did run

		   A augmentedA	    G+G
Your show must be strong


And you feel like an ocean

			    D MajorD
They'd want by the sun




B minorBm		  D MajorD				   G+G
Remember walking a mile to your house


A augmentedA glow in the dark

B minorBm	    D MajorD			   G+G
I made a fumbly play for your heart


And the extra, a spark

B minorBm		   D MajorD				   G+G
You're are a trauma, a chain that I stole


Especial for you

B minorBm		   D MajorD					G+G
Love's just a delicate thing that we'd do


We've nothing to prove

					D MajorD
