Hi, folks. When I play this song, I like to use the 4th finger on the third fret (note G, down on "e").
For the D, the same, just move the hand to the third fret and play as the "C", and as you feel comfortable.
Listen to the song to get the swing and variations of the chords!!!
xoxo.
[Verse 1]
GAll the lake houses were moviCng
They were spinning around in the lGake
They were shark-infested wCaters
They were dangerous places to pGlay
[Verse 2]
You approached me like a Cbrother
Told me "all that you see isnG't true"
A shark pops out of the Cwater
A crucifix carved in his Gtooth
[Verse 3]
There was one song left, rCepeated
As I drifted off, grazing youGr leg
It was tough to tell your Cmotive
You were stuck between no and Dyes
[Verse 4]
When I Gwoke, I saw your anCchor
Pierce through the top of Gmy spine
That I pushed too far to rCecover
As I'm living on borrowiDng time
[Verse 5]
When yGou showed up you were Cglowing
Taking my last breath Gaway
On the arm of some Copponent
Gushing at each word he Gsays
[Verse 6]
When I asked to speak aCbout it
You made it real easy fGor me
Just because we have a Cbaby
Doesn't mean that you belonDg to me
[Verse 7]
Oh, and if I ever lCose you
If that horrible day evGer comes
I don't know how I'd Crecover
I don't know what race ID'd run
But I know that IC'd love you
[Outro]
The day that we swore on Gthat ringC  
The day that we swore on Gthat ring

[Verse 1]

G C

All the lake houses were moving

They were spinning around in the lake

They were shark-infested waters

They were dangerous places to play

[Verse 2]

You approached me like a brother

Told me "all that you see isn't true"

A shark pops out of the water

A crucifix carved in his tooth

[Verse 3]

There was one song left, repeated

As I drifted off, grazing your leg

It was tough to tell your motive

You were stuck between no and yes

[Verse 4]

G C

When I woke, I saw your anchor

Pierce through the top of my spine

That I pushed too far to recover

As I'm living on borrowing time

[Verse 5]

G C

When you showed up you were glowing

Taking my last breath away

On the arm of some opponent

Gushing at each word he says

[Verse 6]

When I asked to speak about it

You made it real easy for me

Just because we have a baby

Doesn't mean that you belong to me

[Verse 7]

Oh, and if I ever lose you

If that horrible day ever comes

I don't know how I'd recover

I don't know what race I'd run

But I know that I'd love you

[Outro]

G C

The day that we swore on that ring
