  			  C          G              F                      C
    I am a sailor and you’re my first mate,
         Am                Em             F                G
    we signed on together we coupled our fate.
             F                  Em            F                      C
    We hauled up our anchor determined not to fail,
     C                     G               F                    C
    for the hearts’ treasure together we set sail.

             C                 G                   F                       C
    With no maps to guide us we steered our own course
          Am                Em                      F                        G
    we rode out the storms when the winds were gale force.
            F              Em               F                    C
    We 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 waters it keeps us afloat.
                  F               G                          Em               Am      Em
When we started the voyage, there was just me and you,
  F                                         G                     C
now gathered round us we have our own crew.

          C         G                F            C
    Together we’re in this relationship,
                Am           Em       F                    G
    we’ve built it with care to last the whole trip.
             F           Em                F                       C
    Our true destination’s not marked on any chart,
       C             G                     F                  C
    we’re navigating for the shores of the heart.

Em          Am             Em         Am
Life is an ocean and love is a boat,
Dm                              F               G
 in troubled waters it keeps us afloat.
                  F               G                          Em               Am      Em

now gathered round us we have our own crew.
