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  

 
        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  

 
        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

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  

 
        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
