Verse 1:
D                      C         G
Baby on your back, get comfy for me
       D
Like a pillow in my lap
        C        G              D
Hide my body and keep it to yourself
                         C           G
I'm a wreck, when you're near, I'm a sailboat
          D
With your name on my neck
    C         G
Get closer to me

Pre-Chorus:
                  G
I keep you waiting
                   N.C.
I can't explain it

Chorus:
D  N.C.
   (Hey!)
                 Bm                    G                D
Honey you're the one that I want and I never wanna hurt you
N.C.             Bm
Maybe that's the reason I'm so nervous
         G                   D
When you ask me for a tattoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

N.C.
(Hey!)
                 Bm                    G                D
Honey you're the one that I want and I never wanna hurt you
N.C.             Bm
Maybe that's the reason I'm so nervous
         G                   D
When you ask me for a tattoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

Verse 2:
N.C          D
I'll let you stab right in with thе ink
                        Bm
And I think that if you had my skin
Bm
You would never have to wondеr
      D
Why I feel so mean to myself and the others
      Bm                Bb
Why I get so sad on the phone with my mother
         D       C
But I'll be your canvas
      G        Bb
If it can ever fix this
D                   F#m             Bm G
Ask you to carve my case and let me go__

Bridge:
Em                        N.C.
 And I'll call you on the way home
D                     Bm          A
 Let you know I'm not bleeding anymore, 'cause
Em                     N.C.
 I will always be your sailboat
D                        Bm            A
 Reel you in when you're crying on the shore, oh
G D      C  Bm
I__ feel fi-ine

I__ can't cut the li-i-ine
