C       G          F               C
    I am a sailor and you're my first mate,
      Am           Em         F           G
    we signed on together we coupled our fate.
        F            Em        F              C
    We hauled up our anchor determined not to fail,
     C                G         F             C
    for the hearts' treasure together we set sail.

         C           G            F              C
    With no maps to guide us we steered our own course
       Am            Em              F               G
    we rode out the storms when the winds were gale force.
        F          Em          F             C
    We sat out the doldrums in patience and hope,
     C         G          F             C
    working together we learned how to cope.

Life is an ocean and love is a boat,
Dm                      F          G
 in troubled waters it keeps us afloat.
         F           G                Em          Am  Em
When we started the voyage, there was just me and you,
 F                        G             C
now gathered round us we have our own crew.

       C      G             F        C
    Together we're in this relationship,
           Am           Em       F             G
    we've built it with care to last the whole trip.
          F       Em            F              C
    Our true destination's not marked on any chart,
     C         G               F            C
    we're navigating for the shores of the heart.
