[Verse]
D A D A Well this is just a simple song D A D A To say what you've done D A D A I told you about all those fears D A D And away they did run A G You sure must be strong
And you feel like an ocean
D A D A D Made warm by the sun D A D A When I was just 9 years old D A D A I swear that I dreamt D A D A Your face on a football field D A D And a kiss that I kept A G Under my vest D A D Apart from everything but the heart in my chest
[Chorus]
Bm D G I know that things can really get rough
When you go it alone
Bm D G Don't go thinking you gotta be tough
And play like a stone
Bm D G Could be there's nothing else in our lives so critical as this little home
[Verse]
D A D A My life in an upturned boat D A D A Marooned on a cliff D A D A You brought me a great big flood D A D And you gave me a lift A G Girl, what a gift. And you tell me with your tongue and you're breath was in my lungs Bm And you float over the rift
[Chorus]
D G I know that things can really get rough
When you go it alone
Bm D G Don't go thinking you gotta be tough
To play like a stone
Bm D G Could be there's nothing else in our lives so critical as this little home

Made warm by the sun[Verse]
Bm D G Remember walking a mile to your house
Aglow in the dark
Bm D G I made a fumblin' play for your heart
And the act struck a spark
Bm D G You wore a charm on a chain that I stole
Especially for you
Bm D G Love's just a delicate thing that we do
We've nothing to prove
D
Which I never knew
