To The Bone

[Verse 1]
                  F#
I love you to the bone
  A#m/F      D#m
I love every piece of you
        D#5 F5 F#5 G#m
All the pieces you don't
     G#m7
That face you pull for strangers
    C#7             C#7/B            F#
The voice you assume     on the phone
And I'm

[Chorus 1]
F#   F#maj7                D#m
  so glad  that you let me in 
                   D#5    F5 F#5 G#m
You are not a prize   for me to  win
         G#m7
But with every piece we share
      C#7           C#7/B
I'm a kid at county fair 
                            F#
And you are the giant teddy bear
                  F#
I love you to the sea

[Verse 2]
  A#m/F             D#m
I love you like the tidal wave
     D#5  F5 F#5 G#m
That cast me away
        G#m7
When it washed me back to shore
    C#7             C#7/B        F#maj7
The first arms that found me were      yours
F
 And I'm

[Chorus 2]
F#   F#maj7                  D#m
  so glad  that you found me there
                 D#5     F5 F#5 G#m
Half asleep with seaweed in my  hair
    G#m7
The mermaid and the sailor,
C#7           C#7/B
half a decade later
You and I were still the perfect pair

[Bridge]
F#          G#m         C#
  Then came rings and a house
      G#m            C#
Sixty years or thereabouts
C#7
   And still,
                                     G#m
I'm searching for the perfect way to say
C#7                  F#
   I love you to the earth

[Verse 3]
  A#m/F             D#m
I love that you love   Hemingway
        D#5   F5   F#5 G#m
And the first hint of  May
    G#m7
And daffodils and oil spills
    C#7                 C#7/B
And mountains made from molehills
    D#m           Daug
And I  hate that I    know
         F#/C#             B
All that makes your garden grow
                                      C#
What to do with all of this once I'm alone?
C#7                  F#
   I love you to the bone

[Verse 4]
  A#m/F      D#m
I love every beat of you
      D#5    F5 F#5 G#m
Every measure   and note
    G#m7
And so, if I stand the chance
      C#7         C#7/B
May I ask you for this dance?

[Chorus 3]
     F#     F#maj7                  D#m
Yes, I'm so glad  that you found me here
                       D#5     F5  F#5   G#m
And made the choice to love me all these years
          G#m7
Though, I can't return the favour
         C#               C#/B
That the mermaid lent the sailor
       D#m          Daug    F#/C#
Oh, my dear, you've been my saviour
G#/C          B                    Bm6                  F#
    And every second spent with you   is worth the tears
