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