C5 C5 A5 We were married by the ocean C5 A5 We were tethered by the sea F5 G5 A5 We tied strings around our fingers F5 G5 To remember our ideals C5 A5 I'll be brave when you are frightened C5 A5 You'll be strong when I am weak in the knees F5 G5 A5 I'll be calm when you have had enough of these rushing waves F5 G5 You'll be the oxygen I need [CHORUS] F5 We'll take turns to untangle the knots Though our hands may be tied C5 It's all part of the plot G5 F5 Cat's cradle etiquette, we oblige C5 G5 As we learn to unlace for the rest of our lives C5 The rest of our lives C5 A5 You'll be balance when I waver C5 A5 I'll be warmth when you are shivering cold F5 G5 A5 You'll be patience when I've had enough of this waiting game F5 G5 I'll be the anchor cast below [CHORUS]
