[Verse 1]
F               Bb        F
I was born to a family of jokers
Bb           F                    
Gamblers and smokers living on the 
 C
line
F               Bb            F
I was raised by strong-headed women
Bb             F             
Men who tested limits and did a 
          C
little time


[Pre-chorus]
       Bb                  F
And it ain't a mystery you fell for 
me
           C                       
We're just two lost souls trying to
 F
 find our peace
Bb                     F
Love like ours ain't a masterpiece
       C
It's a good day in the sun


[Chorus]
      F
I was born to love you
Bb                     F
Out where the water is wide
    Bb               F
Make me your country bride
                       C
You'll be my prince of tides
         F
You were born to heal me
Bb             F
Under a velvet sky
Bb                      F
Cattails dancing in the light
                       C       
We were born to live a long and 
         F    Bb  F
happy life

A happy life


[Verse 2]
      F
Yeah, folks like us
       Bb          F
We may lie down in darkness
    Bb                F        
But we don't lose our sparks; we 
                             C
bring back a good story to tell
      F
Cause we grew up around beauty
Bb                    F
Sunsets better than a movie
Bb                 F             
We knew it was our appointed duty
                              C
 to love like the world might end

And to toast to good nights with 
friends


[Chorus]
      F
I was born to love you
Bb                     F
Out where the water is wide
     Bb              F
Make me your country bride
                       C
You'll be my prince of tides
         F
You were born to heal me
Bb             F
Under a velvet sky
Bb                      F
Cattails dancing in the light
                       C       
We were born to live a long and 
       F    Bb  F
happy life
        F       C
A happy life
             F
Hey, a happy life


[Interlude]
Bb  F      C


[Bridge]
       F        Bb    F
And it comes to me in waves
         Bb                 F
Like the shores of Palmetto Bay
Bb             C
Knowing I'm so lucky
     Bb                 C
Your broken heart could love me


[Chorus]
      F
I was born to love you
Bb                     F
Out where the water is wide
     Bb              F
Make me your country bride
                       C
You'll be my prince of tides
         F
You were born to heal me
Bb             F
Under a velvet sky
Bb                      F
Cattails dancing in the light
                       C       
We were born to live a long and 
         F    Bb  F

        F       C
A happy life

Hey, a happy life
