[Intro]
Dm F A# F C
[Verse 1]
Dm F A# F
I was born to a family of jokers
A# F Dm C
Gamblers and smokers living on the line
Dm F A# F
I was raised by strong-headed women
A# F Dm C
Men who tested limits and did a little time
[Pre-Chorus]
A#
And it ain't a mystery you fell for me
F C
We're just two lost souls trying to find our peace
A#
Love like ours ain't a masterpiece
F C
It's a good day in the sun
[Chorus]
F C
I was born to love you
A# F
Out where the water is wide
A# F
Make me your country bride
Dm C
You'll be my prince of tides
F C
You were born to heal me
A# F
Under a velvet sky
A# F
Cattails dancing in the light
Dm C Dm F A#
We were born to live a long and happy life
F C Dm F A# F C
A happy life
[Verse 2]
Dm F
Yeah, folks like us
A# F
We may lie down in darkness
A# F Dm C
But we don't lose our sparks; we bring back a good story to tell
Dm F A# F
Cause we grew up around beauty
A# F
Sunsets better than a movie
A# F Dm C
We knew it was our appointed duty to love like the world might end
A# F C
And to toast to good nights with friends
[Chorus]
F C
I was born to love you
A# F
Out where the water is wide
A# F
Make me your country bride
Dm C
You'll be my prince of tides
F C
You were born to heal me
A# F
Under a velvet sky
A# F
Cattails dancing in the light
Dm C Dm F A#
We were born to live a long and happy life
F C Dm F A# F C
A happy life
[Bridge]
A# F
And it comes to me in waves
Dm C
Like the shores of Palmetto Bay
A# F
Knowing I'm so lucky
Dm C
Your broken heart could love me
[Chorus]
F C
I was born to love you
A# F
Out where the water is wide
A# F
Make me your country bride
Dm C
You'll be my prince of tides
F C
You were born to heal me
A# F
Under a velvet sky
A# F
Cattails dancing in the light
Dm C Dm F A#
We were born to live a long and happy life
F C Dm F A# F C
A happy life
