Well this is just 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.
They feel like an ocean wind blown [D] by the sun.
When I was [D] just nine years old, I swear that I dreamt.
Your face on a football field and a kiss that I kept.
I've [G] done my best.
Apart from everything, the heart [D] in my chest.
I [Bm] [D] know that things can really [G] get rough [D] when you're going [G] alone.
[Bm] [D] Don't go thinking you gotta [G] be tough.
Lean like a stone.
[Bm] [D] Could be there's nothing else [G] in our lives so critical.
As this little hole.
[D] My life in an ocean blow.
Marooned on a cliff.
You taught me a crazy class.
And you gave me a lift.
Care [G] on what it did.
You tell me with your tongue and your breath is in my lungs.
And we float [Bm] above the rift.
I know that [D] things can really [G] get rough when you're going alone.
[Bm] Don't go thinking you gotta [G] be tough.

And the way they run.

And you feel like an [Bm] ocean wind blown [D] by the sun.
[Bm]
[D] I'll do [G] your house.
A glow in the dark.
[Bm] [D]
[G] And the extra crisp spark.
[Bm] You [D] wore a charm and a chain that [G] I stole.
Special for you.

With nothing to prove.
Which I never knew.
