Simple Song by The Shins
Hey all, not sure about those bridge chords but I think it's pretty close. Listen to the
song to get the strumming pattern for the D and A changes. If you want to listen to the
song, check it out here: http://SimpleSong.TheShins.com
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 the way they did run
A G
Your show must be strong
And you feel like an ocean
D A D A D
They'd want 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
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
To play like a stone
Bm D G
Could be there's nothing else in our lives
So critical
As this little hole
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
To care, 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
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 hole
*BRIDGE*

D A D A
Well this'll be 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 the way they did run
A G
Your show must be strong
And you feel like an ocean
D
They'd want by the sun
Bm D G
Remember walking a mile to your house
A glow in the dark
Bm D G
I made a fumbly play for your heart
And the extra, a spark
Bm D G
You're are a trauma, a chain that I stole
Especial for you
Bm D G
Love's just a delicate thing that we'd do
We've nothing to prove
D
Which I never knew
Fantastic! I just worked this out and came to post it, but you've done wonders!
Thanks! Though now I'm pretty sure that line is "That's warmed by the sun", not "They'd want by the sun".
As usual with Mercer, I've got no clue what his lyrics are! Eagerly awaiting the lyric book with the album :D I do agree with the warmed by the sun though. And I thought, based on his lack of pronouncing consonants, I assumed it was "you sure must be strong", and "girl, what a gift" at the upturned boat section. So glad you tabbed this first, I couldn't decide what to put for the lyrics!
