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

G# happy life
E A E
Hey, a happy life
