[Verse 1]
D G D
I was born to a family of jokers
G D A
Gamblers and smokers living on the line
D G D
I was raised by strong-headed women
G D A
Men who tested limits and did a little time
[Pre-chorus]
G D
And it ain't a mystery you fell for me
A D
We're just two lost souls trying to find our peace
G 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
G D
Out where the water is wide
G D
Make me your country bride
A
You'll be my prince of tides
D
You were born to heal me
G D
Under a velvet sky
G D
Cattails dancing in the light
A D G D
We were born to live a long and happy life
D A
F# happy life
[Verse 2]
D
Yeah, folks like us
G D
We may lie down in darkness
G D A
But we don't lose our sparks; we bring back a good story to tell
D
Cause we grew up around beauty
G D
Sunsets better than a movie
G 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
G D
Out where the water is wide
G D
Make me your country bride
A
You'll be my prince of tides
D
You were born to heal me
G D
Under a velvet sky
G D
Cattails dancing in the light
A D G D
We were born to live a long and happy life

Hey, a happy life
[Interlude]
G D A
[Bridge]
D G D
And it comes to me in waves
G D
Like the shores of Palmetto Bay
G A
Knowing I'm so lucky
G A
Your broken heart could love me
[Chorus]
D
I was born to love you
G D
Out where the water is wide
G D
Make me your country bride
A
You'll be my prince of tides
D
You were born to heal me
G D
Under a velvet sky
G D
Cattails dancing in the light

We were born to live a long and happy life

Hey, a happy life
