To The Bone

                  G
I love you to the bone
  Bm/F#       Em
I love every piece of you
                   Am
All the pieces you don't
     Am7
That face you pull for strangers
    D7          D7/F#       G
The voice you assume on the phone


[Refrain 1]
    G      Gmaj7                Em
And I'm so glad that you let me in
                              Am
You are not a prize for me to win
         Am7
But with every piece we share
      D7            D7/F#
I'm a kid at county fair
(Piano Notes)
 G F# E D C A B             G
And you are the giant teddy bear


[Verse 2]
                  G
I love you to the sea
  Bm/F#             Em
I love you like the tidal wave
               Am
That cast me away
        Am7
When it washed me back to shore
    D7              D7/F#         G
The first arms that found me were yours


[Refrain 2]
    G      Gmaj7                  Em
And I'm so glad that you found me there
                               Am
Half asleep with seaweed in my hair
    Am7                     D7            D7/F#
The mermaid and the sailor, half a decade later
 (Piano Notes)
 G F# E D C A B                  G
You and I were still the perfect pair


[Bridge]
          Am          D7
Then came rings and a house
      Am             D7
Sixty years or thereabouts
               (Piano Notes)
               G F# E D C A B                   Am7   D7  D/F#
And still, I'm searching for the perfect way to say


[Verse 3]
                  G
I love you to the earth
  Bm/F#              Em
I love that you love Hemingway
                      Am
And the first hint of May
    Am7
And daffodils and oil spills
    D7                  D7/F#
And mountains made from molehills
      Em         D#aug
And I hate that I know
         Em7               C
All that makes your garden grow
                                       D7  D7/F#
What to do with all of this once I'm alone?


[Verse 4]
                  Gmaj7  G
I love you to the bone
  Bm/F#      Em
I love every beat of you
                   Am
Every measure and note
       Am7
And so if I stand the chance
      D7.              D7/F#
May I ask you for this dance?


[Refrain 3]
     G      Gmaj7                  Em
Yes, I'm so glad that you found me here
                                         Am
And made the choice to love me all these years
         Am7
Though I can't return the favour
         D7               D7/F#
That the mermaid lent the sailor
      Em          D#aug    Em7   A/C#
Oh my dear, you've been my saviour

          C                 Cm6              G
And every second spent with you is worth the tears
