Paddleboat Breakup Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Tossed about the ocean
in boats built for a lake
Life is but a dream a stream of
[Bb]beautiful [C]mistakes

[Interlude 1]
[Dm][C]

[Verse 2]
[C]On a [F]quiet [C]lake so far fro[F]m the[C] shore
We had [F]paddled [C]for an hou[F]r[C]
[F]Back would [C]be way more
[F][C]

[Verse 3]
She said that's just great
What is wrong with you?
You wait [F]'til [C]we're trapped in a boat
to tell me we're [Dm]through?

[Verse 4]
But in [Dm]the safest [C]dark it
had seemed so [Dm]clear
Tell the truth and let the daylight shine
Watch [C]the shadows [Dm]disappear
And then the morning [Fm]came
And I couldn't [Ddim]bring myself to[G] say i[Dm]t
[C]

[Verse 5]
So we went [F]through [C]all seasons
Wrapped in [F]safety [C]vests
The bright red [F]sun [C]it seared [F]my soul
[C]Her eyes [F]they [C]burned the rest

[Verse 6]
[C]You [Dm]must [C]really hate me
To have planned [Dm]it o[C]ut like this
You can get us back to the shore
I'm not rowing [Dm]shit

[Verse 7]
And then [Dm]the questions [C]came
With no place to hide
[Dm]Why did I blurt it trapped alone in a boat
I [C]rowed against the [Dm]tide
I guess I had all day
[Ddim]But I couldn't bring myself
[Fm]to say [G]it[Fm]
[Cdim][Cm][C]

[Verse 8]
So we [F]turned in [C]our vests and
[F]headed to [C]our cars
She said [F]bye and [C]drove away but
mine it would not start
[F]And now the sun is setting
and [G]everyone has left
I'm [Am]waiting for the tow truck now
[C]and she's just sent a text

[Verse 9]
She [Dm]says
You see, these last few [C]days I've
had something big [Dm]to say
How romantic it would be to wait and
I [C]could tell you on the [Dm]lake
But [G]then you [Dm]dropped that [Ddim]bomb
[Fm]And I couldn't bring myself to say it

[Outro 1]
[C][Cdim][Ebdim][B]
[Dm][Fm][Bdim][Fdim][C][Ebdim][B][Ebdim][Dm][Ddim][Fm]
