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

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