(Verse 1)
The night breaks into little parts and Iâm 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)
itâs the perfect side to be
(Bridge)
Most of the time I spend lying around on the deck
/ /
My friend said itâs a gamble I said what the heck
look at me now Iâm all out at sea
(hammer string again)
itâs a pirates life for me
(Verse 2)
You cursed the sea becomming rough
you said if I believed in love Iâd take you home from it
but Iâm committed to these crimes
Iâve 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 Iâll 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 Iâd
be on my own
(Bridge)
the greatest romances end with a minumus fuss
/ /
you live by the sword and youâre hit by a bus
you live by the river and drown in the sea
its a pirates life for me
