Ev-er since our voy-age of love be-gan
-9*   -9*  -9     -9     8
Your touch has thrilled me
8    -7*  -7* 7  -7*  8
like the rush of the wind
-9   -9   -9   8     8 -7*
And your arms have held me 
-7*    7  7  -7*  7  -6
safe from a roll-ing sea
-3*     7  -7*   7  -6  7 -7*  7
There's al-ways been a qui-et place 
-3* 7  -6  -6   -6 -6
to har-bor you and me

Our love is like a ship on the o-cean

11*  11* 11*…11-10 11 
Rock the boat

Up to now we sailed through every storm
And I've always had your tender lips to keep me warm
Oh I need to have the strength that flows from you
don't let me drift away my dear, when love can see me through
Our love is like a ship
