Coastal Confessions 
by Jimmy Buffett 

(Haven't tabbed this out yet but here are the chords)

E
Well I'm a tidal pool explorer 
From the days of my misspent youth 
I believe that down on the beach 
Where the sea gulls preach 
Is where the Chinese buried the truth. 
    A
So I dig in the sand 
With my misguided hands 
         E
And if I dig deep enough 
Hell I just might dig it up 
             B  
Talkin’ about treasure 
             A 
Talkin’ about pleasure 
             E
Talkin’ about love 

E
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. 
         A 
So I hang on to the string 
Work that whole gravity thing 
           E
But when my space ship goes pop 
Back to the earth I will drop 
        B
Into the sea 
                 A  
Or the limbs of a tree 
                  E
Or the wings of my love 

Chorus 

     B               A               E
And I don't know what I'm supposed to do 
     B           A        E  
Maybe invent me a story or two 
        A          C#m         B  
I've got coastal confessions to make 
         E              E
How ‘bout you, how ‘bout 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 
Trying to come up with some words that will last. 
It's so easy to see that we live history 
And if I just find the beat 
I know I’ll land on my feet 
I always do 
Hadn't got a clue 
’Cause it comes from above. 

Chorus 

And I don't know what I'm supposed to do 
Maybe invent me a story or two 
I've got coastal confessions to make 
How ‘bout you, how ‘bout you? 

Let's go to church, Sonny... 

(musical bridge) 

B          C#m         A      E
So bless me father, yes I have sinned
B        C#m                  A     E
Given the chance I'll probably do it again 
       B         C#m
I don't need absolution 
      A                    B
Just a simple solution will do

So 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 I can't run and hide 
But just hang on for the ride 
There will be laughter and tears 
As we progress through the years 
But still it's fun 
Hey I'm not done 
Gonna dance ‘till I fall 

Chorus  

And I don't know what I'm supposed to do 
Maybe have me a boat drink or two 
It's just the coastal confessions I hear 
Tell the truth, tell the truth 
I've got some coastal confessions to make 
How ‘bout you
