D A D Well this is just a simple songAD A D To say what you've doneAD A D I told you about all those fearsAD A D And away they did runA G You sure must be strong And you feel like an oceanD Made warm by the sunA D A DD A D When I was just 9 years oldAD A D I swear that I dreamtAD A D Your face on a football fieldAD A D And a kiss that I keptA G Under my vest Apart from everything but the heartD in my chestA D [Chorus]Bm D I know that things can really getG rough When you go it aloneBm D Don't go thinking you gotta beG toughContinues after the adAnd play like a stoneBm D Could be there's nothing else inG our lives so critical as this little home [Verse]D A D My life in an upturned boatAD A D Marooned on a cliffAD A D You brought me a great big floodAD A D And you gave me a liftA G Girl, what a gift. And you tell me with your tongue and you're breath was in my lungs And you float over the riftBm [Chorus]D I know that things can really getG rough When you go it aloneBm D Don't go thinking you gotta beG tough To play like a stoneBm D Could be there's nothing else inG our lives so critical as this little home [Bridge]G Bm G DG Bm G G [Verse]D A D Well this'll be a simple songAD A D To say what you doneAD A D I told you about all those fearsAD A D And away they did runA G You sure must be strong And you feel like an oceanD Made warm by the sun [Verse]Bm D Remember walking a mile to yourG house Aglow in the darkBm D I made a fumblin' play for yourG heart And the act struck a sparkBm D You wore a charm on a chain thatG I stole Especially for youBm D Love's just a delicate thing thatG we do We've nothing to prove Which I never knewD
