[Eb]
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.
sure [Ab] must be strong.
[D] [Ab] And it feel like an ocean being warmed [Eb] by the sun.
When I was just nine years old, I swear that I dreamt
your face on a football field and the kiss that I had under [Ab] my bed.
[Eb] [Cm]
