Tom: C C G I found a mark, where the ink bled through Dm G Under a song I was writing for you C G Crumbled up in a drawer, stained with blue Dm G Quiet and easy, what I wanted to prove CHORUS: C F The plainest thing, the plainest thing Dm F I walk right by it C It's just the plainest thing G Sun hits the floor, same as shadows will Dm G So I sat in the light, and I stayed very still C G Heat on my skin, bright in my face Dm G I didn't have any questions, I didn't feel out of place CHORUS: C F The plainest thing, the plainest thing Dm F I walk right by it C It's just the plainest thing INSTRUMENTAL:: C G C F C G I don't know how it works, I don't know how to say Dm I was thinking about us G It's the plainest thing CHORUS: C F The plainest thing, the plainest thing Dm F I walk right by it C It's just the plainest thing Dm F I forgot about it C It was just the plainest thing
