Brett Young - The Ship And The Bottle

capo: 3rd fret

[verse]

C
i was made for a dive bar
G C
usually good for the night
F
I can sure hold my whiskey
C
I can hold my wine

C
You were made for the ocean
G C
the silver water and wind
F
You’re the ship, i’m the bottle
G C
And i don’t wanna hold you in

[chorus]

F
I don’t know how you got here
C
I know they all wonder too
G
‘cause when they’re lookin’ at me, girl
C
They’re really lookin’ at you
F
You just might have to break me
Am
To do what you’re meant to do
G
You’re the ship, i’m the bottle
F C
and i can’t do that to you

[verse]

C
I want to stay wrapped around you
G C
but we both know that i can’t
F
So put the breeze in your sails, girl
C
And sink your toes in the sand
C
Maybe i’ll write you a letter
G C
maybe i’ll keep it inside
F
Maybe one day you’ll get it
G C
while you’re out chasin’ the tide

[chorus]

F
I don’t know how you got here
C
I know they all wonder too
G
‘cause when they’re lookin’ at me, girl
C
They’re really lookin’ at you
F
You just might have to break me
Am
To do what you’re meant to do
G
You’re the ship, i’m the bottle
F C
and i can’t do that to you

[instrumental]

F C G C

[chorus]

F
Ooh, you might just have to break me
Am
And i know you don’t want to
G
You’re the ship, i’m the bottle
F Am
and i wanna keep you, i do
G
But you’re the ship, i’m the bottle
F C
and i can’t do that to you

-( break )-

C
Mmm ( ooh, ooh, ooh )
