I'm gonna build a rC#aft and set it on the water there
Hoping she will cAome, see the thing I mBade
What a thing I mC#ade
Today I'm gonna sail even if she doesn't show
The ocean can decide, love is like a wave
Love would never fail
Hope she gets here sFoon
I hope she isn't fF#ar away
But if she iAs, I'll sail G#anyway
EverydC#ay that I lBbmove her I kAill myG#self

Giving everything away for free
And when I'm out at sea, I'm gonna write a song for her
I'll sing across the bay, hoping she will hear
Hoping she will hear
I think she's in her car and just above the...
To hear my serenade reckoning her near
Reckoning her near
And then she's gonna swill
I didn't build my raft in vain
But if I did, we'll both drown anyway
'Cause everyday that I love her I kill myself
It happens over and over, there's no one else
And I try to forget her but look at me
Giving everything away for free
Giving everything away for free, frFee
DBbmrown me, it'll D#mstop the pain, if my lG#ove's in vain
'Cause I knBew, I knew she'd never cBbome
'Cause she couldn't bear the D#mocean
She couldn't stand the wF#avesA  
So everyday that I love her I kill myself
It happens over and over, there's no one else
And I try to forget her but look at me
Giving everything away for free
