(Verse 1)
C Fmaj7
The night breaks into little parts and I’m not used to stealin hearts
C C/B Am D9 Am D9 Am
its a pirates life for me
C
You floated over on the tide,
Fmaj7
I kissed you on the starboard side
C C/B Am D9 Am D9 Am (hammer on & off D string)
it’s the perfect side to be
(Bridge)
Dm G E/B
Most of the time I spend lying around on the deck
G#/AB C#/DB
My friend said it’s a gamble I said what the heck
C Am D9 Am D9
look at me now I’m all out at sea
Am Fmaj7 C Cadd9 C Cadd9 C Cadd9 (hammer D string again)
it’s a pirates life for me
(Verse 2)
C
You cursed the sea becomming rough
Fmaj7 C C/B Am D9 Am D9 Am

I’ve given up a thousand times but I will never quit
(Bridge)

You told me I gave you a lifetime worth of grief

Now I’ll admit it was remiss to sail you the precipis and then lead you
C/B Am D9 Am D9 Am
there alone
C Fmaj7 C
but had I ever told you so you never would have agreed to go and then I’d
C/B Am D9 Am D9 Am
be on my own
(Bridge)
Dm G E/B
the greatest romances end with a minumus fuss
G#/AB C#/DB
you live by the sword and you’re hit by a bus

you live by the river and drown in the sea

its a pirates life for me
