A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE x2

Verse A:
      A augmentedA        D MajorD
I was a boat, drifting at sea
        A augmentedA          E MajorE
Longing for shores that I'd never seen
         A augmentedA          D MajorD
And there was a storm that capsized me
       A augmentedA          E MajorE
Led me to land, just in your reach

         A augmentedA          D MajorD
And you were a rope, fast to the ground
      A augmentedA       E MajorE
Ready to hold anything down
         A augmentedA       D MajorD
So we tied the knots onto the bow
        A augmentedA        E MajorE
And we made a pact, we made a vow

Verse B:
        F#F#        D MajorD
We could stay here tethered to land
      A augmentedA        E MajorE
No letting go, no looking back


Verse A:
           A augmentedA           D MajorD
But days turned to years, rocks turned to sand
       A augmentedA          E MajorE
And suddenly I was turning with them
       A augmentedA           D MajorD
And ever so slight, you started to fray
        A augmentedA       E MajorE
And I felt the tide pull me away

Verse B:
        F#F#          D MajorD
And somewhere between the crashing of waves
       A augmentedA          E MajorE
I was set free, and I saw you break

♫ Bridge:
        A augmentedA          D MajorD
'Cause I was a boat, meant for the sea
       A augmentedA           E MajorE
Tied to a shore that I'm scared to leave
       F#F#         D MajorD
But I need the space, I need the sky
      A augmentedA        E MajorE
I need to chase horizon lines
       F#F#          D MajorD
I had to set sail to see what I'd find
         A augmentedA          E MajorE
To prove that I can, I'll leave you behind

Instrumental ♫ Break:
F#F# D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE x6

Verse A:
        A augmentedA         D MajorD
Now I'm just a boat, drifting at sea
       A augmentedA          E MajorE
Missing the rope that used to hold me
       A augmentedA           D MajorD
But I am a boat, that's all I'll be
      A augmentedA        E MajorE
I am a boat, I'm just a boat
