Pretty simple song. Have fun with it.
[Verse]
AI guess they never told you how the Globe burned down,
But it aint no secret, just ask around
Some Dheart-sick man fed up with his fate
ATorched it to the ground in a desperate state
Hed grown Dtired of the tragedies, tired of the death
ATired of watching Romeo take one last breath
For Esomething as crazy as Alove
[Verse]
The Agave him all the books, but never taught him to read,
So when she first kissed him, I heard him beg and plead
He saw the Dstorm on the water, he felt every swell
He was oAn top of a mountain then in the belly of a whale
Cause some Ddays its a fountain or an artesian well,
SometAimes its a bag of bricks or some kind of spell
Theres Enothing as wild as Alove
[Verse]
AHe wasnt much for religion, but he learned to pray
For occasions when the wine led his mind astray
He built a Dchapel for his conscience, a shack for his regrets
Sent Adesire to an island still he could not forget
The sDound of her touch, the color of her son
A Ajumble of words, where a space belongs
For Esomething as simple as Alove

Pretty simple song. Have fun with it.

[Verse]

I guess they never told you how the Globe burned down,

But it aint no secret, just ask around

Some heart-sick man fed up with his fate

Torched it to the ground in a desperate state

Hed grown tired of the tragedies, tired of the death

Tired of watching Romeo take one last breath

E A

For something as crazy as love

[Verse]

The gave him all the books, but never taught him to read,

So when she first kissed him, I heard him beg and plead

He saw the storm on the water, he felt every swell

He was on top of a mountain then in the belly of a whale

Cause some days its a fountain or an artesian well,

Sometimes its a bag of bricks or some kind of spell

E A

Theres nothing as wild as love

[Verse]

He wasnt much for religion, but he learned to pray

For occasions when the wine led his mind astray

He built a chapel for his conscience, a shack for his regrets

Sent desire to an island still he could not forget

The sound of her touch, the color of her son

A jumble of words, where a space belongs

E A

For something as simple as love
