Coastal Confessions

(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
Continúa después del anuncio
                 A
Or the limbs of a tree
                  E
Or the wings of my love
     B               A            
And I don't know what I'm supposed
   E
 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 
Given the chance I'll probably 
    E
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
