C# I'm gonna build a raft and set it on the water there AB Hoping she will come, see the thing I made C# What a thing I made
Today I'm gonna sail even if she doesn't show The ocean can decide, love is like a wave Love would never fail
F Hope she gets here soon F# I hope she isn't far away AG# But if she is, I'll sail anyway
C#BbmAG# Everyday that I love her I kill myself C#BbmF#mG# It happens over and over, there's no one else C#FBbmBbm7/G# And I try to forget her but look at me F#mC#/FEmD#C# Giving everything away for free
And when I'm out at sea, I'm gonna write a song for her I'll sing across the bay, hoping she will hear Hoping she will hear
I think she's in her car and just above the... To hear my serenade reckoning her near Reckoning her near
And then she's gonna swill I didn't build my raft in vain But if I did, we'll both drown anyway
'Cause everyday that I love her I kill myself It happens over and over, there's no one else And I try to forget her but look at me Giving everything away for free F Giving everything away for free, free
BbmD#mG# Drown me, it'll stop the pain, if my love's in vain BBb 'Cause I knew, I knew she'd never come D#m 'Cause she couldn't bear the ocean F#A She couldn't stand the waves
So everyday that I love her I kill myself It happens over and over, there's no one else And I try to forget her but look at me Giving everything away for free
