Tom: Em
G
I love you to the bone
Bm/F# Em
I love every piece of you
Am
All the pieces you don't
Am7
That face you pull for strangers
D7 D7/F# G
The voice you assume on the phone
[Refrain 1]
G Gmaj7 Em
And I'm so glad that you let me in
Am
You are not a prize for me to win
Am7
But with every piece we share
D7 D7/F#
I'm a kid at county fair
(Piano Notes)
G F# E D C A B G
And you are the giant teddy bear
[Verse 2]
G
I love you to the sea
Bm/F# Em
I love you like the tidal wave
Am
That cast me away
Am7
When it washed me back to shore
D7 D7/F# G
The first arms that found me were yours
[Refrain 2]
G Gmaj7 Em
And I'm so glad that you found me there
Am
Half asleep with seaweed in my hair
Am7 D7 D7/F#
The mermaid and the sailor, half a decade later
(Piano Notes)
G F# E D C A B G
You and I were still the perfect pair
[Bridge]
Am D7
Then came rings and a house
Am D7
Sixty years or thereabouts
(Piano Notes)
G F# E D C A B Am7 D7 D/F#
And still, I'm searching for the perfect way to say
[Verse 3]
G
I love you to the earth
Bm/F# Em
I love that you love Hemingway
Am
And the first hint of May
Am7
And daffodils and oil spills
D7 D7/F#
And mountains made from molehills
Em D#aug
And I hate that I know
Em7 C
All that makes your garden grow
D7 D7/F#
What to do with all of this once I'm alone?
[Verse 4]
Gmaj7 G
I love you to the bone
Bm/F# Em
I love every beat of you
Am
Every measure and note
Am7
And so if I stand the chance
D7. D7/F#
May I ask you for this dance?
[Refrain 3]
G Gmaj7 Em
Yes, I'm so glad that you found me here
Am
And made the choice to love me all these years
Am7
Though I can't return the favour
D7 D7/F#
That the mermaid lent the sailor
Em D#aug Em7 A/C#
Oh my dear, you've been my saviour
C Cm6 G
And every second spent with you is worth the tears
