^DWell this is ju^Ast a si^Dmple song ^A ^DTo say what you'^Ave done^D ^A ^DI told you about^A all th^Dose fears ^A ^DAnd away they did run ^A ^D You sure must be s^Atrong ^G And you feel like an ocean Made warm by the sun ^D ^A ^D ^A ^D

^DWhen I was just ^A9 years^D old ^A ^DI swear that I d^Areamt ^D ^A ^DYour face on a f^Aootball^D field ^A ^DAnd a kiss that ^AI kept ^D Under my ves^At ^G Apart from everything but the heart in my chest ^D ^A ^D

[Chorus]

^BmI know that things^D can really get rough ^G When you go it alone ^BmDon't go thin^Dking you gotta be tough ^G And play like a stone ^BmCould be there's nothing el^Dse in our lives so critical a^Gs this little home

[Verse]

^DMy life in an up^Aturned ^Dboat ^A ^DMarooned on a cl^Aiff ^D ^A ^DYou brought me a^A great ^Dbig flood ^A ^DAnd you gave me ^Aa lift ^D Girl, what a ^Agif^Gt. And you tell me with your tongue and you're breath was in my lungs And you float over the rift ^Bm

[Chorus]

I know that thing^Ds can really get rough ^G When you go it alone ^BmDon't go thinki^Dng you gotta be tough ^G To play like a stone ^BmCould be there's nothing e^Dlse in our lives so critical ^Gas this little home

And you feel like an ocean

Made warm by the sun ^D [Verse] ^BmRemember walking a ^Dmile to your house ^G Aglow in the dark ^BmI made a fumbli^Dn' play for your heart ^G

And the act struck a spark

^BmYou wore a charm on a^D chain that I stole ^G Especially for you ^BmLove's just a delicat^De thing that we do ^G

We've nothing to prove

Which I never knew ^D
