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