Intro: F    Bb  F  Bb  F  C


verse 1
F               Bb        F
I was born to a family of jokers
Bb           F                     C
Gamblers and smokers living on the line
F               Bb            F
I was raised by strong-headed women
Bb             F                       C
Men who tested limits and did a little time


Pre-Chorus
       Bb                  F
And it ain't a mystery you fell for me
           C                        F
We're just two lost souls trying to find our peace
Bb                     F
Love like ours ain't a masterpiece
       C
It's a good day in the sun

      F
I was born to love you
Bb                     F
Out where the water is wide
    Bb               F
Make me your country bride
                       C
You'll be my prince of tides
         F
You were born to heal me
Bb             F
Under a velvet sky
Bb                      F
Cattails dancing in the light
                       C                F    Bb  F
We were born to live a long and happy life
        F       C
A happy life


verse 2
      F
Yeah, folks like us
       Bb          F
We may lie down in darkness
    Bb                F                                     C
But we don't lose our sparks; we bring back a good story to tell
      F
Cause we grew up around beauty
Bb                    F
Sunsets better than a movie
Bb                 F                                           C
We knew it was our appointed duty to love like the world might end

And to toast to good nights with friends


      F
I was born to love you
Bb                     F
Out where the water is wide
     Bb              F
Make me your country bride
                       C
You'll be my prince of tides
         F
You were born to heal me
Bb             F
Under a velvet sky
Bb                      F
Cattails dancing in the light
                       C              F    Bb  F
We were born to live a long and happy life
        F       C
A happy life
             F
Hey, a happy life


Interlude: Bb  F      C


Bridge
       F        Bb    F
And it comes to me in waves
         Bb                 F
Like the shores of Palmetto Bay
Bb             C
Knowing I'm so lucky
     Bb                 C
Your broken heart could love me


      F
I was born to love you
Bb                     F
Out where the water is wide
     Bb              F
Make me your country bride
                       C
You'll be my prince of tides
         F
You were born to heal me
Bb             F
Under a velvet sky
Bb                      F
Cattails dancing in the light
                       C                F    Bb  F
We were born to live a long and happy life
        F       C
A happy life
             F    Bb  F
Hey, a happy life
      F     C
Happy life
