Standard (EADGBE)

The night breaks into little parts and I’m not used to stealin hearts

  its a pirates life for me

  You floated over on the tide,

  I kissed you on the starboard side

  (hammer on & off string)

it’s the perfect side to be

(Bridge)

  Most of the time I spend lying around on the deck

  My friend said it’s a gamble I said what the heck

  look at me now I’m all out at sea

  (hammer string again)

it’s a pirates life for me

(Verse 2)

  You cursed the sea becomming rough

  you said if I believed in love I’d take you home from it

  but I’m committed to these crimes

  I’ve given up a thousand times but I will never quit

(Bridge)

  You told me I gave you a lifetime worth of grief

  I must be the commonest kind of theif,

  if I only stole from you that which I need

  its a pirates life I lead

x2

Woah hoo-oo-oo-oo

hoo-oo-oo

(Verse 3)

  Now I’ll admit it was remiss to sail you the precipis and then lead you

  there alone

  but had I ever told you so you never would have agreed to go and then I’d

  be on my own

(Bridge)

  the greatest romances end with a minumus fuss

  you live by the sword and you’re hit by a bus

  you live by the river and drown in the sea

  its a pirates life for me
