SIMPLE SONG CHORDS
[Intro] [Verse] D ■ Well this is just a simple song D To say what you done D I told you about all those fears D And away they did run G You sure must be strong G And you feel like an ocean D Being warmed by the sun D When I was just nine years old D I swear that I dreamed D Your face on a football field D And a kiss that I kept [Chorus] G Under my vest G Apart from everything D 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 D As this little hole D My life in an upturned boat marooned on a cliff D You brought me a great big flood D And you gave me a lift G To care what a gift G You tell me with your tongue G And your 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 Em As this little hole [Inst] Bm Em D Em Bm G D ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ [Bridge] D Well this will be a simple song D To say what you've done D I told you about all those years D And away they did run G Gmaj7 You sure must be strong ■ G D ■ And you feel like an ocean D Being warmed by the sun [Chorus] Bm D G Bm ■ Remember walking a mile to your house a glow in the dark ■ D G I made a fumblin' play for your heart and the extra the spark Bm D G ■ You wore a charm in the chain that I stole especially for you Bm D G ■ Love's such a delicate thing that we do we've nothing to prove D Which I never knew ■ [End]
