    Simple Song

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

D                  A      D
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
