1.    I am a sailor, and you’re my first mate,

          Am               Em              F                G

    we signed on together, we coupled our fate.

Am                     Em              F                       C

    Hauled up our anchor, determined not to fail,

C                           G                F                    C

    for the heart’s treasures together we set sail.

 

             C                 G                    F                       C

2. With no maps to guide us we steered our own course,

       Am                   Em                      F                        G

    wheathered the storms when the winds were gale force,

    Am             Em                F                    C

    sat out the doldrums in patience and hope,

C                    G              F                      C

    working together we learned how to cope.

 

 Em        Am              Em          Am

Life is an ocean and love is a boat

Dm                                F               G

in troubled water that keeps us afloat.

                    F              G                         Em               Am

When we started the voyage, there was just me and you

         F                                     G                     C

but now, look around us, we have our own crew.

3. Together we’re in this relationship,

           Am            Em      F                      G

    we built it with care to last the whole trip.

             Am         Em                F                       C

    Our true destination’s not marked on any charts,

C                    G                    F                  C

    we’re navigating to the shores of the heart.

 

Em        Am              Em          Am

Life is an ocean and love is a boat

Dm                                F               G

in troubled water that keeps us afloat.

                    F              G                         Em               Am

When we started the voyage, there was just me and you

         F                                     G                     C

but now, look around us, we have our own crew.
