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
And you feel like an ocean made warm [D] by the sun
When I was just nine years old
I swear that I swam
Your face on a football field and a kiss that I kept [G] under my vest
Apart from everything, [D] the heart in my chest
I [Bm] [D] know that things can really [G] get rough
When you're going [A] alone
[Bm] [D] Don't go thinking you gotta [G] be tough
Play like a stone
[Bm] [D] You've been everything [G] in my life So critical
As this little hope
[D] My life in an upturned boat
Marooned on a cliff
You brought me a crazy flight
And you gave me a lift
Yeah, [G] I'm Bobby Dick
You tell me with your tone
And your breath goes in my lungs
And we float up [Bm] over rivers
Apart from everything, the [D] heart in my chest
I know that things can really [G] get rough
When you're going alone
[Bm] Don't [D] go thinking you gotta [G] be tough
Play like a stone

[D] Well, this will be a simple song
To say what you done
I told you about all those fears
And the way they did run
You show [G] us you're strong
And you feel [D] like an ocean
Being warmed by the sun
[Bm]
[D] I'll come to [G] your house
I'll glow in the dark
[Bm] [D]
I'll play for [G] you
And the axe stroke the spark
[A] [Bm] You [D] were the charm of the chain
That [G] I stole
It's special for [A] you
[Bm] That's [D] such a delicate thing
That [G] we do
With nothing to prove
Which I never knew
[D] [N]
