Chords for The Shins "Simple Song" Acoustic // SiriusXM // XMU

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ So this'll be a simple song _ to say what you done
I _ _ told you about others' fears _ and the way they did run
You sure [G] must be strong _
And _ _ you feel like an ocean made warm [A] by the sun
_ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ When I was just nine years old
I swear that I dreamt
_ _ Your face on a football field
_ And the kiss that I kept under [G] my _ vest _ _ _
_ _ Apart from everything [A] but the heart in [D] my chest
I _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ know [D] that things can really get [G] rough when you go it alone _
_ [Bm] _ _ Don't go [D] thinking you gotta be [G] tough
Play like a stone _
_ [Bm] _ _ Could be [D] there's nothing else [G] in our lives
So [G] critical _ [A]
as _ [F#m] this [G] little _ home
_ [D] My life in an upturned boat
_ _ Marooned on a cliff _ _
_ You brought me a great big flood _
_ And you gave me a lift
Girl, what a gift
And you tell me with your tongue
And your breath goes in my lungs
And we float [Bm] over the rift
[E] I [D] know that things can really [G] get rough when you go it alone
_ _ [Bm] _
_ [A] So don't [D] go thinking you gotta [G] be tough
Play like a stone
_ _ [Bm] _
_ [A] Could be [D] there's nothing else in [G] our lives
So critical _ _ as _ this little home
_ [Em] _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [Em] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
So this'll be a simple song
To say what you done _ _ _
I told you about all those fears _ _
And the way they did run
You sure [G] must be strong
And _ _ _ _ you feel like an ocean made [D] warm by the sun
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ Remember [D] walking the mile to [G] your house
A glow in the dark
_ [Bm] _
_ [A] I made a fumbling play for [G] your heart
And the axe struck a spot
_ _ [Bm] _
_ [A] You [D] wore a charm on the chain that [G] I stole
Special for you
_ [Bm] _
_ _ [D] Love's such a delicate thing that [G] we do
With nothing to prove _ _
_ Which I never knew
_ _ [A] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
