B Bsus2/F#
[Verse 1]
B E B
It isn't safe out here; it's perfectly clear
E B F#
I should've known it was a big mistake
B E B
I could've stayed at home, not answered the phone
E B F#
And never given you my heart to break
[Chorus]
E
But lovers run to ruin
B
Soldiers run to war
Eb
Ships are safe in harbor
G#m
But it ain't what ships are for
E
Hearts are made for breaking
B
You were made for me
Eb
So batten down the hatches, honey
E
Sail away to sea
[Verse 2]
B E B
We had a lot to learn and courage to burn
E B F#
We were the cutest little fools in town
B E B
I was an awful mess, but you were the best
E B F#
And I was trying not to let you down
[Chorus]
E
Lovers run to ruin
B
Soldiers run to war
Eb
Ships are safe in harbor
G#m
But that ain't what ships are for
E
Love is for the making
B
And you were made for me
Eb
So batten down the hatches, honey
E B
Sail away to sea
[Bridge]
G#m E
It can seem insane
E B
The wind and the rain
E B F#
Howling through the dark of the night
G#m E
But when the stars come out
E B
The darkest of doubts
E B F#
Is nothing to the joy of their light
[Verse 3]
B E B
It isn't safe out there, and you're getting scared
E B F#
And, honey, you got every right to be
B E B
But the time is now, so steady the prow
E B F#
And go ahead into the mystery
[Chorus]
E
But lovers run to ruin
B
Soldiers run to war
Eb
Ships are safe in harbor
G#m
But it ain't what ships are for
E
Hearts are made for breaking
B
You were made for me
Eb
So batten down the hatches, honey
E B
Sail away to sea
