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 majorC        G+G
About the almost?s and the should?ves
   Am7Am7        FF
The could?ves and the can?ts
C majorC        G+G
The moments you wish you picked
   Am7Am7        FF
With your heart and not your head
C majorC        G+G
I?ll do my best to tell you
   Am7Am7        FF
Sing it simply and explain
C majorC        G+G
How it?s extra to light the candles
  FF
But no charge for the rain

Interlude: C, G, Am7, FF X2

Verse 2:
C majorC        G+G
We found the boy inside the boat
   Am7Am7        FF
The week rita left the band
C majorC        G+G
Richard left the party
   Am7Am7        FF
Took freedom by the hand
C majorC        G+G
We learned the louder they yell,
   Am7Am7        FF
The less likely they understand,
C majorC        G+G
So please be gentle with them,
Am7Am7
Be gentle with yourself.

Chorus:
G+G     C majorC      FF    C majorC
Hold me a seat i?ll be there soon
G+G         Am7Am7
I?ve starved the heart
      FF      C majorC
Gave the head too much room
    G+G       C majorC
We do our best to number,
    FF        C majorC
Make up stories to explain
    G+G           Am7Am7
It?s always extra to light the candle
  FF
No charge for the rain

Interlude: C, G, Am7, FF X2

Verse 3:
    C majorC          G+G
The sandwich board bullies jeered
   Am7Am7        FF
As henry left the stage.
C majorC        G+G
I find their convictions curious
   Am7Am7        FF
From this side of the cage.
C majorC        G+G
Did the universe reveal herself?
   Am7Am7        FF
Did she make herself known?
C majorC        G+G
Were you too busy? too important?
    Am7Am7
To look up from the phone?

Chorus:
G+G     C majorC      FF    C majorC
Hold me a seat i?ll be there soon
G+G         Am7Am7
I?ve starved the heart
      FF      C majorC
Gave the head too much room
    G+G       C majorC
We do our best to number,
    FF        C majorC
Make up stories to explain
    G+G           Am7Am7
It?s always extra to light the candle
  FF
No charge for the rain

Interlude: C, G, Am7, FF X2

Verse 4:
C majorC        G+G
In the terminal he reflected,
   Am7Am7        FF
All defenses laid down
C majorC        G+G
Figured a week at mayo
   Am7Am7        FF
Would lighten the crown.
C majorC        G+G
Craving offered comfort,
   Am7Am7        FF
Held tight his hand
C majorC        G+G
She?s dangerous in her friendship
    Am7Am7
Because she understands.
G+G        C majorC
Best to know her better,
   FF        C majorC
Put your head inside her mouth
G+G        Am7Am7
Making friends with your monsters
FF    C majorC
Is what sorts them out.
    G+G       C majorC
We do our best to number,
    FF        C majorC
Make up stories to explain
    G+G           Am7Am7
It?s always extra to light the candle
  FF
No charge for the rain

Interlude: C, G, Am7, FF X2

Verse 5: (slows down... could be one strum per chord)
C majorC        G+G
It?s dark in here i?m wondering
   Am7Am7        FF
Are these people leaning or in love?
C majorC        G+G
And do we even know
   Am7Am7
Which it is until it?s gone?
C majorC   G+G Am7Am7   FF
The condition is fragile, be careful going in
C majorC        G+G      Am7Am7
The future?s uncertain, enjoy everything

Chorus:
G+G     C majorC      FF    C majorC
Hold me a seat i?ll be there soon
G+G         Am7Am7
I?ve starved the heart
       FF      C majorC
Gave the head too much room
    G+G       Am7Am7
We do our best to number,
    FF        C majorC
Make up stories to explain
    G+G           Am7Am7
It?s always extra to light the candle
  FF   C majorC
No charge for the rain
