[Verse]
E           B                 A
My ship was lost but now it's found
        E                 B                       A
it was battered, beaten and broken bruised by the coral of the sea

ya see
       E                B                       A
she's pretty until you touch her she'll make you bleed
   E         B
bleed for her
          A
bleed for me

[Chorus]
    A      C#m         B
and over time i'll let the feeling fade away
     A           C#m              B
the seasickness i shook to get to her
    A                     C#m                  B
and the miles are nothing around me go on for days
           A           C#m    B
she's the coral that ancors me
                   E   B   A
anchors me to her life

[Verse]
     E               B                A
the sails upset the starboard heading east
    E                         B
the sun shone its light on my destination
A
with her on my mind
          E         B
how she's on my mind
          A
how she's on my mind
          E          B
how you're on my mind
                A
each smile at a time

[Chorus]
     A    C#m               B
and over time i'll let the feeling fade away
     A            C#m              B
the seasickness i shook to get to her
        A                  C#m                  B
and the miles are nothing around me go on for days
          A           C#m     B
she's the coral that ancors me
                  A     C#m
anchors me to her life

[Bridge]
      B
oh whoooh
                  A    C#m
anchors me to her life
      B
oh whoooh

anchors me to her life

[Verse]
              E    B
on my way back home
       A
i've decided
             E              B                  A
though the bleeding and the swelling haven't subsided

[Queue]
            A              C#m
though it last for only a moment
            B
though it last for a single moment
           A               C#m
though it last for only a moment
           B
though it last for a single moment
            A              C#m
though she last for only a moment
            B
though she last for a single moment
           A
though she last she last
     C#m
she last
              B
i would have changed
                     E   B   A
being anchord to her life
