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