[Verse]
B             G            C              G B
 If I were a fisherman of hopes and dreams
              G                C        G
I'd buy me a boat and take it out to sea

    Cuttin' waves,   dodging storms

G Gm          C                      B
     Casting nets down to the ocean floor


[Verse]
 B                G          C            C G B
Worst case we Go hungry and blame our luck
        G              C                    G
Have a drink, act like we don't care so much

  Gm        Gm      G      Gm B       G
    But to keep on swimmin',    castaway

G Gm                    C               B       G
 Hooked on your own line from just the other day


[Chorus]
 G         B           G        C
And I can't drink the river to dry the land
G  B          G                 C
    Bury the ocean beneath the sand
G  B           G      C
    But I can love you
              Gm C/F B
Until the tide
          G    C      B  G  C  G
Pulls me under by and by

[Verse]
G  B         G                      C
     I went searching for a pot of gold
G  B           G            C                     G
   Dad always said I had a knack for diggin' holes

Gm    C            G    Gm B                G
  If faith were a shovel     to any man of means
Gm               C             B
Why  always standing, the dirt up to my knees?


[Verse]
B       G     C              C G B
To Carolina, swift I'll drive
             G                C   G
Edge of the road, sharp as a knife

 Gm      Gm       G    Gm B                     G
Hundred miles an hour,      I'm comin' home to you
 Gm            C               B               G
Hopin' to make up for all the grief I put you through


[Chorus]
 G         B           G        C
And I can't drink the river to dry the land
G  B          G                 C
    Bury the ocean beneath the sand
G  B           G      C
    But I can love you
              Gm C/F B
Until the tide
          G    C      B  G  C  G
Pulls me under by and by
       B  G  C  G
By and by
