Boy Inside the Boat - Craig Cardiff
Another awesome song by Craig. From the album Love is Louder - Part 2.
Capo 3 (He never sticks with the same key but this works with album)
Verse 1:
C G
About the almost’s and the should’ves
Am7 F
The could’ves and the can’ts
C G
The moments you wish you picked
Am7 F
With your heart and not your head
C G
I’ll do my best to tell you
Am7 F
Sing it simply and explain
C G
How it’s extra to light the candles
F
But no charge for the rain
Interlude: C, G, Am7, F X2
Verse 2:
C G
We found the boy inside the boat
Am7 F
The week rita left the band
C G
Richard left the party
Am7 F
Took freedom by the hand
C G
We learned the louder they yell,
Am7 F
The less likely they understand,
C G
So please be gentle with them,
Am7
Be gentle with yourself.
Chorus:
G C F C
Hold me a seat i’ll be there soon
G Am7
I’ve starved the heart
F C
Gave the head too much room
G C
We do our best to number,
F C
Make up stories to explain
G Am7
It’s always extra to light the candle
F
No charge for the rain
Interlude: C, G, Am7, F X2
Verse 3:
C G
The sandwich board bullies jeered
Am7 F
As henry left the stage.
C G
I find their convictions curious
Am7 F
From this side of the cage.
C G
Did the universe reveal herself?
Am7 F
Did she make herself known?
C G
Were you too busy? too important?
Am7
To look up from the phone?
Chorus:
G C F C
Hold me a seat i’ll be there soon
G Am7
I’ve starved the heart
F C
Gave the head too much room
G C
We do our best to number,
F C
Make up stories to explain
G Am7
It’s always extra to light the candle
F
No charge for the rain
Interlude: C, G, Am7, F X2
Verse 4:
C G
In the terminal he reflected,
Am7 F
All defenses laid down
C G
Figured a week at mayo
Am7 F
Would lighten the crown.
C G
Craving offered comfort,
Am7 F
Held tight his hand
C G
She’s dangerous in her friendship
Am7
Because she understands.
G C
Best to know her better,
F C
Put your head inside her mouth
G Am7
Making friends with your monsters
F C
Is what sorts them out.
G C
We do our best to number,
F C
Make up stories to explain
G Am7
It’s always extra to light the candle
F
No charge for the rain
Interlude: C, G, Am7, F X2
Verse 5: (slows down... could be one strum per chord)
C G
It’s dark in here i’m wondering
Am7 F
Are these people leaning or in love?
C G
And do we even know
Am7
Which it is until it’s gone?
C G Am7 F
The condition is fragile, be careful going in
C G Am7
The future’s uncertain, enjoy everything
Chorus:
G C F C
Hold me a seat i’ll be there soon
G Am7
I’ve starved the heart
