If you were a sailboat

Am............................................ FM7
If you were a cowboy I would trail you,
Am ................................. FM7 ......................C
If you were a piece of wood I’d nail you to the floor.
Dm .............................G .............................. C
If you were a sailboat I would sail you to the shore.
If you were a river I would swim you,
If you were a house I would live in you all my days.
If you were a preacher I’d begin to change my ways.

Am......................... FM7
Sometimes I believe in fate,
..................................G
But the chances we create,
....................................FM7
Always seem to ring more true.
Dm ..................................... G
You took a chance on loving me,
...........................................C
I took a chance on loving you.


If I was in jail I know you’d spring me,
If I was a telephone you’d ring me all day long.
If I was in pain I know you’d sing me soothing songs.

Sometimes I believe in fate,
But the chances we create,
Always seem to ring more true.
You took a chance on loving me,
I took a chance on loving you.

If I was hungry you would feed me,
If I was in darkness you would lead me to the light.
If I was a book I know you’d read me every night.

If you were a cowboy I would trail you,
If you were a piece of wood I’d nail you to the floor.
If you were sailboat I would sail you to the shore.
If you were sailboat I would sail you to the shore.
If you were sailboat I would sail you to the shore.
