C                 Em
Your life is the ocean
         F          C
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


[Verse 1]
C              Em
You said, "Hey Mister!
     F           C
Do follow through
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 armour
    F              G
And I your blanket queen"


[Verse 2]
             C              Em
Girl, you're just like that pretty house
     F                    C
With wooden beams, you're facing south
    C                    Em           F        G
You are my shelter, you are my little home
     C                 Em
Your walls are painted pink and green
F              G            C        Em
With a hint of tangerine, I see
               F       G
A crack in the window


[Pre-Chorus]
F          G
I'm waking up to hold you
Am                       Fadd9             G 
Your blemishes, all your tragedies are mine


[Chorus]
C                 Em
'Cause your life is the ocean
         F          C
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      F
For feeling this way


[Bridge]
   Dm             C
As days turn into years
    Em            Am
Got more than I deserve
        Fsus2           C
There's so much left to learn
                         G      F
As I flip through your pages
   Dm                C
As sweet as crème brulee
      Em             Am
These memories we've made
    Fsus2            C
Now let me take your hand
                G
And offer a lifetime


[Verse 3]
C                        Em
'Cause 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                  G
I guess they all have drowned in love with you the way I have too


[Chorus]
            C           Em
'Cause your life is the ocean
         F                 C
And your heart the biggest 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 on drowning, drowning away
      C                Em
Would the gods forgive me
    F            G      C 
For feeling this way
