[Intro]
A D A E x2
[Verse A]
A D
I was a boat, drifting at sea
A E
Longing for shores that I'd never seen
A D
And there was a storm that capsized me
A E
Led me to land, just in your reach
A D
And you were a rope, fast to the ground
A E
Ready to hold anything down
A D
So we tied the knots onto the bow
A E
And we made a pact, we made a vow
[Verse B]
F#m D A E
We could stay here tethered to land
F#m D A E
No letting go, no looking back
[Verse A]
A D
But days turned to years, rocks turned to sand
A E
And suddenly I was turning with them
A D
And ever so slight, you started to fray
A E
And I felt the tide pull me away
[Verse B]
F#m D A E
And somewhere between the crashing of waves
F#m D A E
I was set free, and I saw you break
[Bridge]
A D
'Cause I was a boat, meant for the sea
A E
Tied to a shore that I'm scared to leave
F#m D
But I need the space, I need the sky
A E
I need to chase horizon lines
F#m D A E
I had to set sail to see what I'd find
F#m D A E
To prove that I can, I'll leave you behind
[Instrumental Break]
F#m D A E x6
[Verse A]
A D
Now I'm just a boat, drifting at sea
A E
Missing the rope that used to hold me
A D
But I am a boat, that's all I'll be
A E
I am a boat, I'm just a boat
