Intro D 

verse 1 
D 
I was made for a dive bar 
D 
Usually good for the night 
D                  G 
I can sure hold my whiskey 
               D 
I can hold my wine 
D 
You were made for the ocean 
D 
The silver water and wind 
D                        G 
You're the ship, I'm the bottle 
A                          D 
And I don't wanna hold you in 

D                     G 
I don't know how you got here 
                       D 
I know they all wonder too 
                               A 
'Cause when they're lookin' at me, girl 
                           D 
They're really lookin' at you 
                        G 
You just might have to break me 
                           Bm 
To do what you're meant to do 
                          A 
You're the ship, I'm the bottle 
G                      D 
And I can't do that to you 

verse 2 
D 
I want to stay wrapped around you 
D 
But we both know that I can't 
D                          G 
So put the breeze in your sails, girl 
                          D 
And sink your toes in the sand 
D 
Maybe I'll write you a letter 
D 
Maybe I'll keep it inside 
D                     G 
Maybe one day you'll get it 
A                            D 
While you're out chasin' the tide 

D                     G 
I don't know how you got here 
                       D 
I know they all wonder too 
                               A 
'Cause when they're lookin' at me, girl 
                           D 
They're really lookin' at you 
                        G 
You just might have to break me 
                           Bm 
To do what you're meant to do 
                          A 
You're the ship, I'm the bottle 
G                      D 
And I can't do that to you 

Solo

D                            G 
Ooh, you might just have to break me 
                     Bm 
And I know you don't want to 
                          A 
You're the ship, I'm the bottle 
G                         Bm 
  And I wanna keep you, I do 
                              A 
But you're the ship, I'm the bottle 
G                     N.C.        D 
  And I can't do that to you
