[D]
Well this is just a simple song to say what you've done
I told you about all those fears and the way they did run
You [G] sure must be strong
And you feel like an ocean wind warmed [D] by the sun
When I was just nine years old
I swear that I dreamt
Your face on a football field
And [E] a kiss [D] that I kept [G] under my bed
Apart from everything with a heart [D] in my chest
I [Bm] [D] know that things can really [G] get rough
When you're going alone
[A] [Bm] [D]
Thinking you gotta [G] be tough
But play like a star
[Bm] [D]
Nothing ends [G] in our life so critical
As this little hope
[D] My life's been an ocean boat
Marooned on a cliff
You brought me a crazy flight
And [Em] you gave [D] me a list
Of care [G] and what it did
You tell me with your tongue
And your breath is in my lungs
And we float [Bm] above the rift
I [D] know that things can really [G] get rough
When you're going alone
[A] [Bm] [D] Thinking you gotta [G] be tough
But play like a star
Nothing [Bm] [D]
ends [G] in our life [D] so [G]
critical

[D] Well this would be a simple song to say what you've done
I told you about all those fears
And the way they run
You sure [G] must be strong
[Bm] And [G] you feel [Bm] like an ocean being warmed [D] by the sun
[Bm]
[D] I'll come to [G] your house
A glow in the dark
[Bm] [D]
[G] And the extra spark
[F#m] [Bm] You [D] wanna drive on the train [G] that I stole
It's special for you
[A] [Bm] [A] [D] That's such a delicate thing that [G] we do
With nothing to prove
Which I never knew
[D] [N]
