Coastal Confessions Chords by Jimmy Buffett

[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Well, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I'm a tidal pool explorer From the days of my miss Benhieu
_ I believe that down on the beach Where the seagulls preach
Is where the Chinese buried the truth So [A] I dig in the sand
With my misguided hands And if [E] I dig deep enough
Hell, I just might dig it up Talkin' [B] about treasure
Talkin' [A] about pleasure Talkin' [E] about love
_ _ _ _ Now I'm a reader of the night sky And a singer of inordinate tunes
That's how I float across time Livin' way past my prime
Like a long lost baby's balloon _ So I [A] hang on to the string
To work that whole gravity thing But when [E] my spaceship goes pop back
To the earth I will drop into [B] the sea _ Or the limbs [A] of a tree
_ Or the wings [E] of my love _ And _ _ [B] I don't know [A] what I'm supposed [E] to do
_ Maybe [B] it'd be a [A] story [E] or two I've got [A] coastal _ [C#m] confessions to [B] make
How [E] about you?
How about you?
They say that time is like a river _ And stories are the key to the past
But now I'm stuck in between Here at my typing machine
Tryin' to come up with some words that will last _
[A] It's so easy to see That we live history
And [E] if I just find the beat I know I'll land on my feet
I [B] always do I haven't [A] got a clue
_ Does it [E] come from above? _ _ _ _ _
[B] And I don't know [A] what I'm [E] supposed to do
_ Maybe [B] it'd be a [A] story or [E] two _ I've got [A] coastal _ [C#m] confessions to [E] make
How about you?
How about you?
Let's go to church, son
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] So [G#m] bless me, father, yes [E] I have [F#] sinned Given [G#m] the chance I'll probably [E] do it again
I [F#m] don't need [G#m] absolution [A] Just a simple solution [B] will do
_ _ _ _ So [E] let's talk about the future _ Or the consequences of my past _
I've got scars, I've got lines I'm not hard to define
Just an altar boy covering his ass I know [A] I can't run and hide
But just hang on for the ride [E] There will be laughter and tears
As we progress through the year But [B] still it's fun
Hey, I'm [A] not done _ Gonna [E] dance till I fall _ _ _ _ _
[B] And I don't [A] know what I'm [E] supposed to do _
[B] Maybe have me [A] a bulk drink [E] or two _
_ [A] _ Coastal [C#m] confessions [B] I hear
[E] Tell the truth _ Tell the truth
I've got some [A] coastal _ [C#m] confessions to [E] make How about you?
How about you? _
How about you?
How about you?
And you and you and you _ _ _ _
Forty-two years since my last confession
_ [C#m] _
[E] Well, father, do you have the rest of the week?
Let's get started _ _
_ _ _ I had impure [C#m] thoughts _ I smoked some pot _ _ _
_ _ Stole some peanut butter _ _ _ Father, wake up _ _ _ _ _
