[Intro]
B Bsus2/F#
B Bsus2/F#
[Verse 1]
It isn't Bsafe out here; it's pEerfectly cBlear
I should've Eknown it was Ba big mF#istake
I could've Bstayed at home, not Eanswered the phBone
And never Egiven you my heBart to F#break
[Chorus]
But Elovers run to ruin
  BSoldiers run to war
D#Ships are safe in harbor
But it G#main't what ships are for
  EHearts are made for breaking
  BYou were made for me
So D#batten down the hatches, honeEy
Sail away to Bsea
[Verse 2]
We had a Blot to learn and courEage to burBn
We were the Ecutest little Bfools F#in town
I was an Bawful mess, but you wEere the beBst
And I was trEying not to lBet you F#down
[Chorus]
ELovers run to ruin
  BSoldiers run to war
D#Ships are safe in harbor
But that G#main't what ships are for
  ELove is for the making
  BAnd you were made for me
So D#batten down the hatches, honeEy
Sail away to Bsea
[Bridge]
It can G#mseem iEnsane
The Ewind and the Brain
EHowling through the Bdark of the F#night
But when the stG#mars comEe out
The dEarkest of Bdoubts
Is nEothing to the Bjoy of their F#light
[Verse 3]
It isn't Bsafe out there, and yoEu're gettiBng scared
And, honey, Eyou got every Bright F#to be
But the tBime is now, so steady Ethe prowB  
And go Eahead into thBe mysteF#ry
[Chorus]
ELovers run to ruin
  BSoldiers run to war
D#Ships are safe in harbor
But it G#main't what ships are for
  EHearts are made for breaking
  BAnd you were made for me
So D#batten down the hatches, honeEy
Sail away to Bsea

[Intro]

B Bsus2/F#

[Verse 1]

B E B

It isn't safe out here; it's perfectly clear

E B F#

I should've known it was a big mistake

B E B

I could've stayed at home, not answered the phone

E B F#

And never given you my heart to break

[Chorus]

But lovers run to ruin

Soldiers run to war

Ships are safe in harbor

G#m

But it ain't what ships are for

Hearts are made for breaking

You were made for me

D# E

So batten down the hatches, honey

Sail away to sea

[Verse 2]

B E B

We had a lot to learn and courage to burn

E B F#

We were the cutest little fools in town

B E B

I was an awful mess, but you were the best

E B F#

And I was trying not to let you down

[Chorus]

Lovers run to ruin

Soldiers run to war

Ships are safe in harbor

G#m

But that ain't what ships are for

Love is for the making

And you were made for me

D# E

So batten down the hatches, honey

Sail away to sea

[Bridge]

G#m E

It can seem insane

E B

The wind and the rain

E B F#

Howling through the dark of the night

G#m E

But when the stars come out

E B

The darkest of doubts

E B F#

Is nothing to the joy of their light

[Verse 3]

B E B

It isn't safe out there, and you're getting scared

E B F#

And, honey, you got every right to be

B E B

But the time is now, so steady the prow

E B F#

And go ahead into the mystery

[Chorus]

Lovers run to ruin

Soldiers run to war

Ships are safe in harbor

G#m

But it ain't what ships are for

Hearts are made for breaking

And you were made for me

D# E

So batten down the hatches, honey

Sail away to sea
