[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.
You 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]
I know that [Eb] things can really [Ab] get rough.
You go really low.
[Bb] [Cm] Look [Eb] how I'm thinking you gotta [Ab] be tough.
Play like a star.
[Gm] [Cm] [Eb] Could be the star dancing [Ab] all night.
So critical as these little hearts.
[Eb] I've seen those.
No, they don't care.
You brought me a great big life.
I could hear you say,
care,
[Ab] what you did.
You tell me what you tell.
And you better do a lot.
We're gonna [Cm] move around.
I know that [Eb] things can really [Ab] [Cm] get rough.
You go really low.
Look how [Eb] I'm thinking you gotta be [Ab] tough.
Play like a star.
[Eb] [Cm] Could [Eb] be the
[Ab] star dancing all night.
[Eb] So [Ab] critical as these little hearts.
[Fm] [Cm]
[Fm] [Eb]
[Fm] [Cm]
[Ab]
[Eb] So give me a simple song to say what you've done.
I've told you about all those words.
And the way they will run,
sure must [Dm] be strong.
[Ab]
And if you [Eb] like it, I'll send you all of the songs.
[Cm]
We [Eb]
come to [Ab] your house.
We glow in the dark.
[Cm]
We [Eb]
[Ab] act like a spark.
[Bb]
[Cm] You [Eb] want a time of your chain that [Ab] I stole.
It's special for you.
[Bb]
[Cm] [Gm] Let's [Eb] start to tell everything that [Ab] we do.
With nothing to prove.
[Eb] [Ab] We try to never give you [Eb] a clue.
