(Bm)I know that things(D) can really get rough(G)
When you go it alone
(Bm)Don't go thinking(D) you gotta be tough(G)

As this little hole

(D)You brought me a(A) great (D)big flood(A)

To care, what(A) a (G)gift
And you tell me with your tongue
And you're breath was in my lungs
And you float over the rift(Bm)

To play like a stone
(Bm)Could be there's nothing (D)else in our lives(G)
So critical
As this little hole

A glow in the dark

Especial for you
(Bm)Love's just a delicate(D) thing that we'd do(G)
We've nothing to prove
Which I never knew(D)
