[Verse 1]
F# Cb F#
I was born to a family of jokers
Cb F# C#
Gamblers and smokers living on the line
F# Cb F#
I was raised by strong-headed women
Cb F# C#
Men who tested limits and did a little time
[Pre-chorus]
Cb F#
And it ain't a mystery you fell for me
C# F#
We're just two lost souls trying to find our peace
Cb F#
Love like ours ain't a masterpiece
C#
It's a good day in the sun
[Chorus]
F#
I was born to love you
Cb F#
Out where the water is wide
Cb F#
Make me your country bride
C#
You'll be my prince of tides
F#
You were born to heal me
Cb F#
Under a velvet sky
Cb F#
Cattails dancing in the light
C# F# Cb F#
We were born to live a long and happy life
F# C#
A# happy life
[Verse 2]
F#
Yeah, folks like us
Cb F#
We may lie down in darkness
Cb F# C#
But we don't lose our sparks; we bring back a good story to tell
F#
Cause we grew up around beauty
Cb F#
Sunsets better than a movie
Cb F# C#
We knew it was our appointed duty to love like the world might end
And to toast to good nights with friends
[Chorus]
F#
I was born to love you
Cb F#
Out where the water is wide
Cb F#
Make me your country bride
C#
You'll be my prince of tides
F#
You were born to heal me
Cb F#
Under a velvet sky
Cb F#
Cattails dancing in the light
C# F# Cb F#
We were born to live a long and happy life
F# C#
A# happy life
F#
Hey, a happy life
[Interlude]
Cb F# C#
[Bridge]
F# Cb F#
And it comes to me in waves
Cb F#
Like the shores of Palmetto Bay
Cb C#
Knowing I'm so lucky
Cb C#
Your broken heart could love me
[Chorus]
F#
I was born to love you
Cb F#
Out where the water is wide
Cb F#
Make me your country bride
C#
You'll be my prince of tides
F#
You were born to heal me
Cb F#
Under a velvet sky
Cb F#
Cattails dancing in the light
C# F# Cb F#
We were born to live a long and happy life
F# C#
A# happy life
F# Cb F#
Hey, a happy life
F# C#
Happy life
