[Verse]
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 away they did run
A G
You sure must be strong
And you feel like an ocean
D A D A D
Made warm 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
[Chorus]
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
And play like a stone
Bm D G
Could be there's nothing else in our lives so critical as this little home
[Verse]
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
Girl, 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
[Chorus]
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 home
[Bridge]

[Verse]
D A D A
Well this'll be a simple song
D A D A
To say what you done
D A D A
I told you about all those fears
D A D
And away they did run
A G
You sure must be strong
And you feel like an ocean
D
Made warm by the sun
[Verse]
Bm D G
Remember walking a mile to your house
Aglow in the dark
Bm D G
I made a fumblin' play for your heart
And the act struck a spark
Bm D G
You wore a charm on a chain that I stole
Especially for you
Bm D G
Love's just a delicate thing that we do
We've nothing to prove
D
Which I never knew
