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
Here on gulf coast    time
