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    AD
Made  warm  by the  sun

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
       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
   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
       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

Could   be there's  nothing else in our lives so critical as this  little home

Well  this'll  be a  simple  song
   D    A     D    A    
To  say  what  you  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

Made warm by the  sun
         Bm          D                   G
Remember   walking a  mile to your house  
                
glow in the dark
         Bm              D               G
I made a   fumblin' play  for your heart  
         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  
                          
And the act struck a spark
                      
We've nothing to prove
              D    
Which I never  knew
