       ALANA HENDERSON ft. JOSHUA BURNSIDE

CAPO: 1st FRET

INTRO:
NONE


VERSE:  (Alana Henderson)
G                Am
I don`t need no shore leave
        F                               C
`Cause feet fixed, I still sway to the sea`s heave

 G               Am                       F
Don`t?need?to be wrung? out or hung out to dry
                C
I'know how the lands lie

 G                  Am
And if you came on board
              F                        C
I know you`d scan for the safety of a lighthouse blink

G              Am
Any port in a storm, love
      F
You promise you won`t falter
       C                  G
But I know I`ve seen men sink


CHORUS: (Alana Henderson and Joshua Burnside)
N.C.              C
So you should get on board
      G                       Am            F
With someone whose course is steadier than mine

               C
You should get on board
      G                     Am
With someone whose eyes are on the horizon
 F
Not on the skies

C              G
On board with someone
             Am               F
Whose anchor is heavier than mine

               C   C G
You should get on board
 E    Am  F
Haa haaaaa


VERSE: (Alana Henderson)
  F           Am             F
`Cause I`m a flotsam jetsam mess
           C           C   G
A drunken sailor in a dre-ess

 G         Am              F
And fifty fathoms deep no less
                    C  C  G
When my heart`s at sea

G                   Am
And if you came on board
              F                         C
I know you`d tire of the tossing of my seabed

 G                 Am
And forget what I said
  F                         C            G
Ships were not built to be safe, no, no, no


CHORUS: (Alana Henderson and Joshua Burnside)
G                 C
So you should get on board
      G                       Am            F
With someone whose course is steadier than mine

               C
You should get on board
      G                     Am
With someone whose eyes are on the horizon
 F          F   C
Not on the ski-ies

               G
On board with someone
             Am               F
Whose anchor is heavier than mine

               C   C G
You should get on board
E      Am   F
Ha ha haaaa


VERSE: (Joshua Burnside]
 F                     C
Well, I`ve weathered worse storms
          E
Than the one, the one you`ve been
Am                    F
  Brewin` up in your mind

 F               C
I`ve weathered worse storms
       E                   Am
Lord knows, he knows I`ve been sailin`
        F
For an awfully long time

  C                         E
Worse storms than all your fair-weather friends
     Am
And your shipmates combined
 F
Tie up those lines

       C
`Cause I shot the albatross
    G
And I will swim across
    Am                       F
The old man and the sea has nothin` on me

        C
`Cause this love is steady
 E
Truer than North
    Am                 F    C
Now you take that on board
 G                Am   F
You take that on boar-oard


CHORUS: (Alana Henderson and Joshua Burnside)
F                  C
No, you should get on board
      G                        Am           F
With someone whose course is steadier than mine

                     C
      You should get on board
(I`ve weathered worse storms)
      G                     Am
With someone whose eyes are on the horizon
 F          F   C
Not on the ski-ies
    (I stare at)

               G
On board with someone
             Am               F
Whose anchor is heavier than mine

        F             C        G
       You should get on board
(I`ve sailed in a storm)

 G       Am       F
Will end for the year


VERSE: (Alana Henderson and Joshua Burnside)
N.C.         C
I`ll be the figurehead
    G
On your ship`s bow
             Am
I`ll be the last glimpse of a topsail
   F
As we go down

          C
I`ll be waiting on the seabed
   G
Repeating the words
         Am                    F
Don`t forget, ships were not built to be safe
(You said)

        C                G
And in all my life`s mistakes
 G
You were not one
       Am
`Cause all I`ve ever done
 F
All I`ve ever done

    C
Is love you
        G             Am   F    C
To the bottom of the deep blue sea
