Gone Coastal

She took the Jeep down Midnight Pass — and I'm coming down that road.

Capo 1 — play the shapes in E and it sounds in F major. Much easier than fingering F major straight.

Verse 1

Woke up to a sticky note and half a pot of cold brew
"Gone to find myself" with a little smiley too
Her flip-flops gone, her sundress gone, my heart left at the door
I called her once, it went to beep — okay, I called five more

Pre-Chorus

And it hit me like a wave I didn't see —
the one she's runnin' from is probably me

Chorus

She's gone coastal, hit the Jeep down Midnight Pass
Top peeled back, foot to the floor, leavin' the Village fast
One bridge back and gainin' ground, sunburnt and dead broke
Baby slow your roll, I'm sorry — don't make me chase the coast
She's gone coastal, but I'm comin' down that road

Verse 2

Checked the Daiquiri Deck, checked the sand down on Siesta Key
Bartender said "tall, sweet, and over you" — man, that sounds like her to me
I took her for a sure thing like the tide that always turns
Past Point of Rocks the tide goes out — lesson finally learned

Pre-Chorus

So I'm trading every "later, babe" I said —
for "right now" and "I mean it" instead

Chorus

She's gone coastal, hit the Jeep down Midnight Pass
Top peeled back, foot to the floor, leavin' the Village fast
One bridge back and gainin' ground, sunburnt and dead broke
Baby slow your roll, I'm sorry — don't make me chase the coast
She's gone coastal, but I'm comin' down that road

Bridge

Found her toes-in at the drum circle, just swayin' to the sea
That quartz-white sand and a sinkin' sun — she said "took ya long enough, slick"
Then scooted over on her blanket and saved a little spot for me
I said "I'll bring you coffee hot, I'll text you back the same day"
She laughed and stole my sunglasses — guess that means I get to stay

Final Chorus

We're gone coastal, one Jeep down Midnight Pass
Top peeled back, her hand in mine, no more leavin' fast
I caught the girl, I caught the wave, the only one I'll chase
She went coastal — and lucky me, I caught up to her place

Outro

Yeah, we're gone coastal,
Just ridin' that Gulf Coast breeze
She went lookin' for herself,
And found a better me.

This is the unfiltered pitch detection across the whole mix — vocals, bass and drums included — mapped onto a fretboard. It is not a playable arrangement and no one should try to read it as one. It is here only because it is the raw material everything else was built from.
