Intro: D A D A Well this is just a simple song D A to say what you done D A I told you about all those fears D and away they did run. You sure must G A G A be strong... G A G A D A D A and you feel like an ocean being warmed by the sun D A D A When I was just nine years old D A D A I swear that I dreamt D A D Your face on a football field A D A D and a kiss that I kept A G A G A Under my vest, G A G A D A D A apart from everything but the heart in my chest Chorus: Bm A D A G A G A I know that things can really get rough when you go it alone Bm A D A G A G A Don't go thinking you got to be tough, and play like a stone Bm A D A G A G A G A G Could be there's nothing else in our lives so critical As this little home! D A D A My life in an upturned boat, D A D A marooned on a cliff D A D You brought me a great big flood A D A D and you gave me a lift A G A Girl, what a gift G A G And you tell me with your tongue and your A G A (Bm) breath goes in my lungs and we float above the rift Chorus: Bm A D A G A G A I know that things can really get rough when you go it alone Bm A D A G A G A Don't go thinking you got to be tough, and play like a stone Bm A D A G A G A G A G Could be there's nothing else in our lives so critical As this little home! Interlude: Em Bm Em Bm Em Bm G D A Well this is just a simple song D A to say what you done D A I told you about all those fears D and away they did run. You sure must G A G A be strong... G A G A D A D A and you feel like an ocean being warmed by the sun Bm A D A G A G A Remember walking the mile to your house aglow in the dark Bm A D A G A G A I made a fumbling play for your heart and the axe struck a spark Bm A D A G A G A You wore a charm on the chain that I stole especial for you Bm A D A G A G A Loves such a delicate thing that we do , with nothing to prove G A G A D Which I never knew!
