    Simple Song

D5            A5      D5            A5
Well this is just a simple song

D5            A5      D5            A5
To say what you've done

D5            A5      D5            A5
I told you about all those fears

D5                  A5      D5
And the way they did run

              A5              G5
Your show must be strong


And you feel like an ocean

                         D5      A5 D5      A5 D5
They'd want by the sun



D5            A5      D5            A5
When I was just 9 years old

D5            A5      D5            A5
I swear that I dreamt

D5            A5      D5            A5
Your face on a football field

D5            A5      D5
And a kiss that I kept

          A5   G5
Under my vest

                                                  D5      A5 D5
Apart from everything but the heart in my chest




B5              D5                         G5
I know that things can really get rough


When you go it alone

B5           D5                          G5
Don't go thinking you gotta be tough


To play like a stone

B5                         D5                           G5
Could be there's nothing else in our lives


So critical


As this little hole




D5            A5      D5            A5
My life in an upturned boat

D5            A5      D5            A5
Marooned on a cliff

D5            A5      D5            A5
You brought me a great big flood

D5            A5      D5
And you gave me a lift

           A5      G5
To care, what a gift


And you tell me with your tongue


And you're breath was in my lungs

                           B5
And you float over the rift




              D5                         G5
I know that things can really get rough


When you go it alone

B5             D5                                   G5
Don't go thinking you gotta be tough


To play like a stone

B5                    D5                        G5
Could be there's nothing else in our lives


So critical


As this little hole

Well this'll be a simple song

D5            A5      D5            A5
To say what you've done

D5            A5      D5            A5
I told you about all those fears

D5                  A5      D5

B5               D5                             G5
Remember walking a mile to your house


A glow in the dark

B5             D5                        G5
I made a fumbly play for your heart


And the extra, a spark

B5                 D5                             G5
You're are a trauma, a chain that I stole


Especial for you

B5                 D5                              G5
Love's just a delicate thing that we'd do


We've nothing to prove

                              D5
Which I never knew
