[Intro]
F Dm Am G
[Verse 1]
F
I prefer the river
Dm Am G
The ocean is too big a body to understand
F
Go to where it narrows
Dm
Bring your bow and arrow
Am Em
Meet me out on the land
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Dm F
White water flowing on the rocks in the sunshine
Am G
Drinking red wine in the summertime
Dm F
Night swimming, skinny dipping, love in the moonlight
Am Em
And it's all mine
[Chorus]
F Dm
I don't want a boyfriend
Am G
I don't want a house built on the sand
F Dm
I don't want a lover
Am
I want a man
G F
A coming-from-the-heart man
Dm Am
Living in my heartland
Em F Dm Am Em N.C
Coming-from-the-heart man
[Verse 2]
F Dm
Underneath the covers of treetops and each other
Am G
Awoken by a gentle breeze
F
Are we here in silence
Dm
The birds and smells of lilacs
Am Em
Going out from a city
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Dm F
Bird calling, water falling, dreams in the sunshine
Am G
Drinking red wine in the summertime
F Dm
Sun tan and Steely Dan and sounds on the radio
Am Em
And it's all mine
[Chorus]
F Dm
I don't want a boyfriend
Am G
I don't want a house built on the sand
F Dm
I don't want a lover
Am
I want a man
G F
A coming-from-the-heart man
Dm Am
Living in my heartland
Em F Dm Am Em
Coming-from-the-heart man
[Bridge]
F Dm Am Em
Sweet like honey dripping, oh touch and taste
F Dm Am Em
Lights my fire burning all night and day
F
Your soul so stunning
Dm Am Em
Taking my breath away
F Dm Am Em
My desire reaching out for the flame
[Chorus]
F Dm
I don't want a boyfriend

I don't want a house built on the sand

A coming-from-the-heart man

Living in my heartland

Coming-from-the-heart man

In my heartland

Coming-from-the-heart man
Em F Dm Am Em
Living in my heartland
[calm part]
