Guitar chords with lyrics

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


OUTRO:
G  Am  F  C
G  Am  F  C
G  Am  F  C
G  Am  F
