C C Am We were married by the ocean C Am We were tethered by the sea F G Am We tied strings around our fingers F G To remember our ideals C Am I'll be brave when you are frightened C Am You'll be strong when I am weak in the knees F G Am I'll be calm when you have had enough of these rushing waves F G You'll be the oxygen I need [CHORUS] F We'll take turns to untangle the knots Though our hands may be tied C It's all part of the plot G F Cat's cradle etiquette, we oblige C G As we learn to unlace for the rest of our lives C The rest of our lives C Am You'll be balance when I waver C Am I'll be warmth when you are shivering cold F G Am You'll be patience when I've had enough of this waiting game F G I'll be the anchor cast below [CHORUS]
