On Board

Intro: 
NONE 


Verse:  (Alana Henderson) 
G                Am 
I don't need no shore leave 
        F                               C 
'Cause feet fixed, I still sway to the sea's heave 

 G               Am                       F 
Don't?need?to be wrung? out or hung out to dry 
                C 
I?know how the lands lie 

 G                  Am 
And if you came on board 
              F                        C 
I know you'd scan for the safety of a lighthouse blink 

G              Am 
Any port in a storm, love 
      F 
You promise you won't falter 
       C                  G 
But I know I've seen men sink 


Chorus: (Alana Henderson and Joshua Burnside) 
N.C.              C 
So you should get on board 
      G                       Am            F 
With someone whose course is steadier than mine 

               C 
You should get on board 
      G                     Am 
With someone whose eyes are on the horizon 
 F 
Not on the skies 

C              G 
On board with someone 
             Am               F 
Whose anchor is heavier than mine 

               C   C G 
You should get on board 
 E    Am  F 
Haa haaaaa 


Verse: (Alana Henderson) 
  F           Am             F 
'Cause I'm a flotsam jetsam mess 
           C           C   G 
A drunken sailor in a dre-ess 

 G         Am              F 
And fifty fathoms deep no less 
                    C  C  G 
When my heart's at sea 

G                   Am 
And if you came on board 
              F                         C 
I know you'd tire of the tossing of my seabed 

 G                 Am 
And forget what I said 
  F                         C            G 
Ships were not built to be safe, no, no, no 


Chorus: (Alana Henderson and Joshua Burnside) 
G                 C 
So you should get on board 
      G                       Am            F 
With someone whose course is steadier than mine 

               C 
You should get on board 
      G                     Am 
With someone whose eyes are on the horizon 
 F          F   C 
Not on the ski-ies 

               G 
On board with someone 
             Am               F 
Whose anchor is heavier than mine 

               C   C G 
You should get on board 
E      Am   F 
Ha ha haaaa 


Verse: (Joshua Burnside 
 F                     C 
Well, I've weathered worse storms 
          E 
Than the one, the one you've been 
Am                    F 
  Brewin' up in your mind 

 F               C 
I've weathered worse storms 
       E                   Am 
Lord knows, he knows I've been sailin' 
        F 
For an awfully long time 

  C                         E 
Worse storms than all your fair-weather friends 
     Am 
And your shipmates combined 
 F 
Tie up those lines 

       C 
'Cause I shot the albatross 
    G 
And I will swim across 
    Am                       F 
The old man and the sea has nothin' on me 

        C 
'Cause this love is steady 
 E 
Truer than North 
    Am                 F    C 
Now you take that on board 
 G                Am   F 
You take that on boar-oard 


Chorus: (Alana Henderson and Joshua Burnside) 
F                  C 
No, you should get on board 
      G                        Am           F 
With someone whose course is steadier than mine 

                     C 
      You should get on board 
(I've weathered worse storms) 
      G                     Am 
With someone whose eyes are on the horizon 
 F          F   C 
Not on the ski-ies 
    (I stare at) 

               G 
On board with someone 
             Am               F 
Whose anchor is heavier than mine 

        F             C        G 
       You should get on board 
(I've sailed in a storm) 

 G       Am       F 
Will end for the year 


Verse: (Alana Henderson and Joshua Burnside) 
N.C.         C 
I'll be the figurehead 
    G 
On your ship's bow 
             Am 
I'll be the last glimpse of a topsail 
   F 
As we go down 

          C 
I'll be waiting on the seabed 
   G 
Repeating the words 
         Am                    F 
Don't forget, ships were not built to be safe 
(You said) 

        C                G 
And in all my life's mistakes 
 G 
You were not one 
       Am 
'Cause all I've ever done 
 F 
All I've ever done 

    C 
Is love you 
        G             Am   F    C 
To the bottom of the deep blue sea
