Catherine Tift Merritt (born January 8, 1975, in Houston, Texas, but moved to Raleigh, North Carolina soon after) is a critically acclaimed American singer-songwriter, musician. She is currently based in New York.
Merritt's father taught her guitar chords and Percy Sledge songs. She began her professional career in 1998 with her band The Carbines playing small clubs. In her early twenties, though Tift had gigged by herself, she decided she was not very good at music and better suited for writing short stories.

Tift Merritt - Plainest Thing
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
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

I didn't have any questions, I didn't feel out of place

The plainest thing, the plainest thing
