Intro:  (E)  (Esus)  (E)  (Esus)

(E) Afternoon (Esus) low tide - (E) workin' on my (Esus) plan
Got (E) one hand in the water - the other in the sand
Two (Bm) beers in a cooler - (A) one warm heart in (E) place
Got a picture in a (Esus) bottle - one (E) nailed up to a (Esus) palm tree
(E) One out in the wind - and they all look like me
I want (Bm) somebody to be - the (A) feeling's all over my (B7) face

Oh, I've (E) never been more ready than I (G#m) am right now
I know (A) sooner or later - someway somehow
Some(F#m)body's gonna walk up and (B7) join somebody sittin' right (E) here (D)
So wher(A)ever, who(E/G#)ever you (F#m) are (B7)
The coast is (E) clear

I (E) close my (Esus) eyes and the (E) sound of the (Esus) waves
(E) Carries me forward - to better days
And they (Bm) open my eyes to the (A) woman of my dreams strol(E)ling in
With a small touch of (Esus) shyness - and a (E) smooth kind of (Esus) style
She (E) kisses me on the cheek and she says with a smile
I've been (Bm) waiting all my life for (A) you baby - where have you (B7) been

Oh, I've (E) never been more ready than I (G#m) am right now
I know (A) sooner or later - someway somehow
Some(F#m)body's gonna walk up and (B7) join somebody sittin' right (E) here (D)
So wher(A)ever, who(E/G#)ever you (F#m) are (B7)
The coast is (E) clear

So wher(A)ever, whoe(E/G#)ver you (F#m) are (B7)
The coast is (E) clear

(E) Afternoon low tide - I'm just workin' on my plan
(E/G#) Right (F#m) now
Right (B7) here
The coast is (E) clear
