Boy Inside The Boat Acordes

	   

verse 1: 
          C                G 
About the almost’s and the should’ves 
      Am7                F 
The could’ves and the can’ts 
C                G 
The moments you wish you picked 
     Am7                F 
With your heart and not your head 
C                G 
I’ll do my best to tell you 
     Am7                F 
Sing it simply and explain 
C                G 
How it’s extra to light the candles 
    F 
But no charge for the rain 

Interlude: C, G, Am7, F X2 

verse 2: 
C                G 
We found the boy inside the boat 
     Am7                F 
The week rita left the band 
C                G 
Richard left the party 
     Am7                F 
Took freedom by the hand 
C                G 
We learned the louder they yell, 
     Am7                F 
The less likely they understand, 
C                G 
So please be gentle with them, 
Am7 
Be gentle with yourself. 

 
G          C           F        C 
Hold me a seat i’ll be there soon 
G                  Am7 
I’ve starved the heart 
            F            C 
Gave the head too much room 
        G             C 
We do our best to number, 
        F               C 
Make up stories to explain 
       G                     Am7 
It’s always extra to light the candle 
   F 
No charge for the rain 

Interlude: C, G, Am7, F X2 

verse 3: 
       C                    G 
The sandwich board bullies jeered 
     Am7                F 
As henry left the stage. 
C                G 
I find their convictions curious 
     Am7                F 
From this side of the cage. 
C                G 
Did the universe reveal herself? 
     Am7                F 
Did she make herself known? 
C                G 
Were you too busy? too important? 
        Am7 
To look up from the phone? 


G          C           F        C 
Hold me a seat i’ll be there soon 
G                  Am7 
I’ve starved the heart 
            F            C 
Gave the head too much room 
        G             C 
We do our best to number, 
        F               C 
Make up stories to explain 
       G                     Am7 
It’s always extra to light the candle 
   F 
No charge for the rain

verse 4: 
C                G 
In the terminal he reflected, 
     Am7                F 
All defenses laid down 
C                G 
Figured a week at mayo 
     Am7                F 
Would lighten the crown. 
C                G 
Craving offered comfort, 
     Am7                F 
Held tight his hand 
C                G 
She’s dangerous in her friendship 
       Am7 
Because she understands. 
G                C 
Best to know her better, 
     F                C 
Put your head inside her mouth 
G                Am7 
Making friends with your monsters 
F       C 
Is what sorts them out. 
        G             C 
We do our best to number, 
        F               C 
Make up stories to explain 
       G                     Am7 
It’s always extra to light the candle 
   F 
No charge for the rain

Verse 5:
C                G 
It’s dark in here i’m wondering 
     Am7                F 
Are these people leaning or in love? 
C                G 
And do we even know 
     Am7                
Which it is until it’s gone? 
C     G Am7     F 
The condition is fragile, be careful going in 
C                G            Am7 
The future’s uncertain, enjoy everything 


G          C           F        C 
Hold me a seat i’ll be there soon 
G                  Am7 
I’ve starved the heart 
             F            C 
Gave the head too much room 
        G             Am7 
We do our best to number, 
        F               C 
Make up stories to explain 
       G                     Am7 
It’s always extra to light the candle 
   F     C
