Boy Inside The Boat chords by Craig Cardiff

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
             F            C
Gave the head too much room
        G             Am7
We do our best to number,
        F               C
Make up stories to explain
       G                     Am7
It?s always extra to light the candle
   F     C
No charge for the rain
