VERSE:
      B     A           E
I've got a fish on the line
           B           E
But there won't be a feast
           A          E
We've got too much in common
         B          E
And he shall be released

           A           E
I've seen day turn to night
                  B          E
And watched the changin' of seasons
  A                E
Things don't just happen
      B           C#m    C#m
They happen for a reason


CHORUS:
C#m          A        E
Maybe we'll meet in Exuma
    B           E
Or down in the Keys
      A               E
If I catch the right current
    B          E
Or capture a breeze

          A              E
Out here conflicts and chaos
     B         E
Completely subside
         A               E
Sailin' back to where I came from
B               C#m7  E A E
  Back to slack tide

C#m7 B A E


BDA K:
         Am                 E                A  E
Well, I think it's time to put some snorkels on
           Am         E
Turn your feet into flippers
F#7               B
Have some primal fun

  A            E            B            A
Dance with a stranger in a Mardi Gras parade
 F#m           E               A           B   B
Find an empty hammock, take a nap in the shade


CHORUS:
           A             E
You can't hold back the moon
                B       E
Can't stop the ebb and flow
     A           E
The water still comes
         B           E
And the water still goes

          A            E
It turns mountains to sand
          B            E
Gave ol' Noah his big ride
          A              E
Then he dropped off his passengers
 B            C#m  E A E
Down at slack tide

VERSE:
            A       E
I can't control anybody
 B            E
Other than myself
             A            E
Leave those half empty thoughts
     B           E
High up on the shelf

        A            E
If you cut me some slack
 B               E
I'll return the favor
           A              E
Open that bottle of fine rum
        B     B         C#m
That together,  we will savor


CHORUS:
           A              E
Well, we could use some quiet
          B            E
We could use a little calm
          A            E
Find the good in everybody
             B         E
Share that "one love" balm

            A            E
Watch the predators and prey
       B            E
Swim along side by side
            A            E
'Neath the blue sky and mangroves
 B            C#m   C#m
Down at slack tide


POST-CHORUS:
             A         E                 B
I wish the whole wide world could swim along
         C#m7  E A E   C#m B A E
At slack tide


OUTRO:
      C#m                      E
Swim along, swim along, swim along, swim along
A          E
 At slack tide
      C#m7                     B              A E
Swim along, swim along, swim along, swim along
