VERSE:
  Am        F         C
I like the way this salty, warm breeze feels
      Am        F        C
As I make another cast with this old rod and reel
       Am       F
Sounds like things are going well
            C
From the tone of your letter
   Am
Am I doing okay?
  F
I guess you could say
   G
I'm keeping my head above water


CHORUS:
    F    G    C
On the deck of this old saltwater lady
 F     G    C
Dancin' 'cross the waves
   F    G     C
The seaside world slows down to an idle
  Dm         G
The sun sets red over Copano Bay

   F    G     C
You moved on with your life in California
 F    G    Am
I'll move on with mine
 F     G   C       Am
Sometimes things take a little longer
 F    G     F G C
Here on gulf coast time

VERSE:
   Am        F          C
It's nice just getting back to the simple things
     Am         F        C
Like the taste of this fresh key lime in my drink
      Am
Took that watch you gave me
 F             C
Tossed it 'bout a mile offshore
       Am        F
Just another anchor around me weighing me down that
G
I don't need anymore


CHORUS:
    F    G    C
On the deck of this old saltwater lady
 F     G    C
Dancin' 'cross the waves
   F    G     C
The seaside world slows down to an idle
  Dm         G
The sun sets red over Copano Bay

   F    G     C
You moved on with your life in California
 F    G    Am
I'll move on with mine
 F     G   C       Am
Sometimes things take a little longer
 F    G     F G C
Here on gulf coast time

BREAK:
    Dm
And I know
       Em         F
I'm getting better with every breath of ocean
G
I breathe in

    Am    Em       G
And my soul gets stronger every moment I spend


CHORUS:
    F    G    C
On the deck of this old saltwater lady
 F     G    C
Dancin' 'cross the waves
   F    G     C
The seaside world slows down to an idle
    Dm         G
And the sun sets red over Copano Bay

   F    G     C
You moved on with your life in California
 F    G    Am
I'll move on with mine
   F     G   C       Am
But sometimes things take a little longer
 F    G     C
Here on gulf coast time


OUTRO:
 F     G   C       Am
Sometimes things take a little longer
 F    G     F G C
