If you were a sailboat            

1  If you were a cowboy                         a  I'd nail you to the floor.
2  If you were a piece of wood                b  I would swim you,
3  If you were a sail boat                         c  I would live in you all my days.
4  If you were a river                               d  I would trail you,
5  If you were a house                             e   I'd begin to change my ways.
6  If you were a preacher                         f   I would sail you to the shoreSometimes I believe in fate,

                                   But the chances we create,
                                   Always seem to ring more true.
                                   You took a chance on loving me,
                                    I took a chance on loving you.    

 1 If I was in jail I know                         a you'd sing me soothing songs.
 2 If I was a telephone                            b you'd spring me
 3 If I was in pain I know                       c you'd ring me all day long       

                                      (  CHORUS )

1 If I was hungry                                     a you'd read me every night
2 If I was in darkness                              b you would feed me
3 If I was a book I know                         c you would lead me to the light 

                                               (  CHORUS )
