Verse 1:
                G
I love you to the bone
              Em
I love every piece of you
                   Am
All the pieces you don't
  C
That face you pull for strangers
   D                         G
The voice you assume on the phone

Refrain 1:
  G                               Em
And I'm so glad that you let me in
                               Am
You are not a prize for me to win
           C
But with every piece we share
 D
I'm a kid at county fair
-Piano Notes-
 G Gb E D C A B         G
And you are the giant teddy bear

Verse 2:
                G
I love you to the sea
                       Em
I love you like the tidal wave
             Am
That cast me away
   C
When it washed me back to shore
   D                                G
The first arms that found me were yours

Refrain 2:
 G                                  Em
And I'm so glad that you found me there
                                Am
Half asleep with seaweed in my hair
 C                            D
The mermaid and the sailor, half a decade later
 -Piano Notes-
 G Gb E D C A B          G
You and I were still the perfect pair

Bridge:
  Am                   D
Then came rings and a house
 Am                   D
Sixty years or thereabouts
   -Piano Notes-
 G Gb E D C A B                          Am
And still, I'm searching for the perfect way to say

Verse 3:
                   G
I love you to the earth
                           Em
I love that you love Hemingway
                       Am
And the first hint of May
 C
And daffodils and oil spills
 D
And mountains made from molehills
 Em
And I hate that I know
  G
All that makes your garden grow
 Am                                      D
What to do with all of this once I'm alone?

Verse 4:
                   G
I love you to the bone
                    Em
I love every beat of you
                   Am
Every measure and note
 C
And so if I stand the chance
 D
May I ask you for this dance?

Refrain 3:
  G                                  Em
Yes, I'm so glad that you found me here
                                       Am
And made the choice to love me all these years

Though I can't return the favour
 C
That the mermaid lent the sailor
  D
Oh my dear, you've been my saviour
    -Piano Notes-
 G Gb E D C A B                              G
And every second spent with you is worth the tears
