Chords with lyrics
Verse 1:
G+G
I love you to the bone
E minorEm
I love every piece of you
A minorAm
All the pieces you don't
C majorC
That face you pull for strangers
D MajorD G+G
The voice you assume on the phone
Refrain 1:
G+G E minorEm
And I'm so glad that you let me in
A minorAm
You are not a prize for me to win
C majorC
But with every piece we share
D MajorD
I'm a kid at county fair
(Piano Notes)
G+G F#F# E MajorE D MajorD C majorC A augmentedA BB G+G
And you are the giant teddy bear
Verse 2:
G+G
I love you to the sea
E minorEm
I love you like the tidal wave
A minorAm
That cast me away
C majorC
When it washed me back to shore
D MajorD G+G
The first arms that found me were yours
Refrain 2:
G+G E minorEm
And I'm so glad that you found me there
A minorAm
Half asleep with seaweed in my hair
C majorC D MajorD
The mermaid and the sailor, half a decade later
(Piano Notes)
G+G F#F# E MajorE D MajorD C majorC A augmentedA BB G+G
You and I were still the perfect pair
Bridge:
A minorAm D MajorD
Then came rings and a house
A minorAm D MajorD
Sixty years or thereabouts
(Piano Notes)
G+G F#F# E MajorE D MajorD C majorC A augmentedA BB A minorAm
And still
I'm searching for the perfect way to say
Verse 3:
G+G
I love you to the earth
E minorEm
I love that you love Hemingway
A minorAm
And the first hint of May
C majorC
And daffodils and oil spills
D MajorD
And mountains made from molehills
E minorEm D#augD#aug
And I hate that I know
E minor 7Em7 C majorC
All that makes your garden grow
A minorAm D MajorD
What to do with all of this once I'm alone?
Verse 4:
G+G
I love you to the bone
E minorEm
I love every beat of you
A minorAm
Every measure and note
C majorC
And so if I stand the chance
D MajorD
May I ask you for this dance?
Refrain 3:
G+G E minorEm
Yes
I'm so glad that you found me here
A minorAm
And made the choice to love me all these years
Though I can't return the favour
C majorC
That the mermaid lent the sailor
D MajorD
Oh my dear, you've been my saviour
(Piano Notes)
G+G F#F# E MajorE D MajorD C majorC A augmentedA BB G+G
And every second spent with you is worth the tears
