F

[Verse 1]

         F
Love is simple when it's broken
           C
It's the softest words ever spoken
                   Dm
And I said I was kidding, but I was jokin'
         C/G
Now I'm twisted up and lost in thought
         F
But I remember what I was thinking
             C
All those feelings always sinking
            Dm
All that waiting to take that stage
          C/G
And the feeling we could, let 'em wait


[Verse 2]

      F
Hey Steven, how's Sally?
            C
How're the peaks and how're the valleys?
           Dm
I've been down some, but I'll rally
           C/G
Have you found something to sink your teeth into?
         F
Keep it even, keep her happy
           C
Don't be afraid to love her madly
              Dm
And she will steer you and keep you afloat
       C/G
As you row that boat until you both let go someday

[Verse 3]

          F
So is it simple? Being older?
          C
We've got all these kids upon our shoulders
                 Dm
See, I just get softer, the world gets colder
         C/G
Now I'm twisted up and lost in thought
            F
But do you remember? The night got late?
C
Equations were recalculating in my veins
         Dm
And you saved my life in the final round
             C/G
Some kind of paper cup tea, some hell-bath festival ground


[Verse 4]

    F
Hey Steven, how's Sally?
           C
How're the peaks and how're the valleys?
              Dm
And I've been down some, but I'll rally
          C/G
Have you found something to sink your teeth into?
        F
Keep it even, keep her happy
          C
Don't be afraid to love her madly
           Dm
We should recap, lay it on me
     C/G
The good the bad, the in-between


[Verse 5]

     F
Hey Steven, are you happy?
                C
And how're the kids, man? How's that family?
             Dm
They cannot spare you from the valleys
              C/G
But they will give you something you can lean into
           F
So keep it even, keep her happy
          C
Don't be afraid to love her madly
                 Dm
'Cause she will steer you and keep you afloat
       C/G
As you row that boat until you both let go someday

F    C    Dm    C/G
