C    G    Dm  C G

[Verse 1]
G                     C                                G
I hope that you are through and you knew what you were doing
                         Dm
You proved what you were proving
                   C            G
And it was sort of soothing to see
                           C                                        G
I couldn't say that it was new to me Guess you could say but yours grew on me
               Dm
I venture not a purer thing
                   C            G
You'd ever really want to even see

[Chorus 1]
Am                     C
Motor boating through our lives
F  C
Only
F  C
Gradually
F  C
Gaining
F   C
Rudimentary
Em            Am
navigational skills
Am
And even sometimes offended by
G
Very friendly lighthouses
               C
Very friendly lighthouses

[Verse 2]

G                    C
You really got your groove on
                   G
You even donned a frou frou frock
                       Dm
But now that you have moved on
                       C       G
I'll process priceless memories
                               C
I should've seen that you were stewing
                      G
I was absent when you blew and
               Dm
By the time I knew it
               G              C
Was already in full fabulous swing

[Chorus 2]

Am                     C
Motor boating through our lives
F  C
Only
F  C
Gradually
F  C
Gaining
F   C
Rudimentary
Em            Am
navigational skills
 G                  Am
And even sometimes offended by
G
Very friendly lighthouses
               C
Very friendly lighthouses

[Instrumental verse]

  C    G    Dm    C
G                      C
Here's hoping that we grew some
                           G
You'd think that it would do something
                   Dm
You certainly were gruesomely
              C          G
Before I went awayyyyyyyay
