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

Back to slack tide

BREAK:
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

Gave ol' Noah his big ride
A E
Then he dropped off his passengers

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

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

Swim along, swim along, swim along, swim along
A E
At slack tide

Swim along, swim along, swim along, swim along
