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