D Bm G
[Verse 1]
D Free as the wind on the ocean F#m Wild as the rain in the storm G Immense out on the grand horizon D A A As a thunderhead taking form D Turn in with the stars on the water F#m Rise with the tides in the dawn G Be your own boss for the summer D A Seize the moment before it's gone
[Chorus]
G D/F# Em7 A7 Sixteen on a fishing boat D Bm Gm D Bm Bb Learning to float
[Verse 2]
D Some who keep their secrets like treasure F#m Some who tend to cling to the coast G No one who can stand staying landlocked D A A For longer than a month at most D Free as the churn of the riptide F#m Free as a wreck in the drift G Nothing's ever promised to anyone D A Everything you get is a gift
[Chorus]
G D/F# Em7 A7 Sixteen on a fishing boat D D Learning to float
[Bridge]
G Learning to swim D Learning how to tread water Em Learning how to raise our cries to the skies A A Like seals to the slaughter
[Instrumental]

(Bb D) x4
[Verse 3]
D Still as the sky on the ocean F#m Mute as the moon overhead G Me and Peter Balkan and you, friend D A Everybody else is dead D Turning where the rain won't reach us F#m Rise with the sun all alone G Be your own boss for the summer D A Just once before you're grown
[Chorus]
G D/F# Em7 A7 Sixteen on a fishing boat G D/F# Em7 A7 Sixteen on a fishing boat G D/F# Em7 A7 Sixteen on a fishing boat D We are learning to float
[Instrumental]
