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

Make me your country bride

You'll be my prince of tides

And it comes to me in waves
F C
Like the shores of Palmetto Bay
F G
Knowing I'm so lucky
F G
Your broken heart could love me
[Chorus]

I was born to love you
F C
Out where the water is wide

Make me your country bride
