Build A Boat(Cavaco chords)

	        
verse 1 

D 
D 
Let's build a boat 
                                  G 
So we can sleep right where we sail 
                            Em 
You see a fish, I see a whale 
                             A 
Underneath this painted indigo 

Oh, where should we go next? 
D 
Let's build a boat 
                             G 
So we can say we saw the ocean 
                                 Em 
From our bedroom's cotton curtains 
                                 A 
While I was looking out the window 

Oh, I know that you wanna build it too 

Em 
 
Em                                       G 
Don't pretend that you're not looking 
                                 D 
For something more than growing up 
                                       A 
Right now I should be writing flashcards 

But I'm stuck on pastel skies and apple eyes that say too much 
Em                                         G 
So won't you come and ride the waves, boy 
                            D 
We can go anywhere we please 
                            A 
And then instead of revising 

We could sail to the horizon 
   - 
And float out inside the sea
 

D 

verse 2 
D 
Let's build a castle 
                             G 
So we can rule it as we choose 
                                               Em 
And I'll spend days just simply talking to you 
                                                      A 
And I won't worry if I don't know how to factorise 

I'll blow the time off dandelions 
D 
Let's build a tree house 
                              G 
So we can hide up there forever 
                                        Em 
We'll make a nest right out of feathers 
                              A 
And I will never have to choose 

Oh, you know that you wanna build it too 

D 

Em                                          G 
Don't pretend that you're not clueless 

At what the hell you're gonna do 
                                       D 
Right now I should be drawing mind maps 

But I'm stuck on fairy letters 
A 
That make me think of you 
Em 
So won't you come and climb to me, boy 
                                     G 
Coz we don't have to live like them 
                          D 
Instead of memorizing verbs 

We could sail right round the world 
A                     D 
And make it back again 


D  G  Em A (x2) 

Bridge 
D 
Let's build a boat that's made for two 
G 
Oh, I know you want it just as much as me 
        Em 
You're just afraid to give it all, in case you lose 
 D 
But I'm not scared of falling 
G 
Oh no, I'm scared of being boring 
Em 
What if we never even try? 

What if we never find out why? 
  A 
What if we grow up without really growing down? 

verse 3 
D 
So please, please my darling 
                                               G 
Just don't settle for what they want you to be 

Coz you are extra ordinary already 
                                                  Em 
And I know there's so much more inside your reach 
 D 
And I can't prove it's worth it 
                                                            G 
Coz it's not safe and I don't know where we'll end up 

But hell, it's better than just waiting and taking 
                         Em 
The path they build for us 

Outro 
                                   D 
Coz I don't think I could bear it 
                                   G 
If when we're old and faded peach 
                            Em 
We can't tell each other stories of when we tried and flied 
                                              A 
And made the jumps nobody thought we'd reach 

Coz life is made for living 
                                      D 
So baby, oh, who knows what we'll be 

Oh, but youth is meant for taking and for breaking 
                                           G 
And for building up the beautiful we'll be
