C                  Em 
Your life is the ocean 
                        
C                F 
and your heart is a wave 
C                  Em 
like a dog in the sun  
F                       C 
I found my peace in your storm  
C               Em 
as i sail for days 
F                 C 
I keep drowning away  
C                       Em 
would my sailors forgive me 
F                   G 
for feeling this way

You said, 
Em 
"Hey Mister! 
F             C

C                      Am 
let's go and build a house  
F                     G 
big enough to fit us two 
C                       Em 
we'll weave a castle there 
        F               G 
the castle of our dreams 
C                     Em 
my knight in dining armor 
  
F                      G                   
and i your blanket queen"

C                          Em 
Girl you're just like that pretty house 
F                                   C 
with wooden beams, you're facing south 
                                                             
G        C             Em              F 
you are my shelter, you are my little home 
       C                         Em 
Your walls are painted pink and green 
F                    G 
with a hint of Tangerine 
C  Em 
I see 
                F   G 
a crack in the window 
C         Em           Am 
I'm waking up to hold you  
         F                             G 
your blemishes,all your tragedies are mine.

F   Dm               C 
As days turn into years 
Em                    Am 
got more than I deserved  
F                         C 
there's so much left to learn  
                         G 
as i flip through your pages 
F    Dm                C           
As sweet as Crème brûlée (harmony) 
Em                    Am 
these memories we've made  
      F                C 
now let me take your hand  
                          G 
and offer a lifetime (clash and tension)

C                              Em 
Coz darling all these years have gone 
F                        C 
Just as the tree we sat upon 
C                  Em            F                    G 
so afraid to fall, the way we laughed, we made it through 
      C                      Em 
My sailors they have come 'round 
F                          C 
their ballads bring a different sound 
C                        Em                 F 
i guess they all have drowned in love with you  
G 
the 
way i have too!
