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 


      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 

 
      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 

 
      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
