G#               D#        G#         D#
Well this is just a simple song
G#               D#        G#         D#
To say what you've done
G#               D#        G#         D#
I told you about all those fears
G#               D#        G#         
And the way they did run
                  D#            C#
Your show must be strong
C#
And you feel like an ocean
                          G#     D#G#   D#G#
They'd want by the sun


G#               D#        G#         D#
When I was just 9 years old
G#               D#        G#         D#
I swear that I dreamt
G#               D#        G#         D#
Your face on a football field   
G#               D#        G#         
And a kiss that I kept
            D#         C#
Under my vest
                                               G#         D#         G#
Apart from everything but the heart in my chest


Fm                G#                       C#
I know that things can really get rough
C#
When you go it alone
Fm              G#                         C#
Don't go thinking you gotta be tough
C#
To play like a stone
Fm                        G#                    C#
Could be there's nothing else in our lives
C#
So critical
C#
As this little hole


G#               D#        G#         D#
My life in an upturned boat
G#               D#        G#         D#
Marooned on a cliff
G#               D#        G#         D#
You brought me a great big flood    
G#               D#        G#          
And you gave me a lift
             D#  C#
To care, what a gift
C#
And you tell me with your tongue
C#
And you're breath was in my lungs
                              Fm
And you float over the rift


                  G#                        C#
I know that things can really get rough
 C#
When you go it alone
Fm             G#                         C#
Don't go thinking you gotta be tough
 C#
To play like a stone
Fm             G#                             C#
Could be there's nothing else in our lives
C#
So critical
C#
As this little hole

Remember walking a mile to your house
C#
A glow in the dark
Fm             G#                       C#
I made a fumbly play for your heart
C#
And the extra, a spark
Fm                   G#                       C#
You're are a trauma, a chain that I stole
C#
Especial for you
Fm                   G#                       C#
Love's just a delicate thing that we'd do
C#
We've nothing to prove
                              G#
Which I never knew
