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