Intro F Gm F Bb C
 
F Bb
Florida Keys, have I stayed here enough?
Gm Bb C
Florida Keys, do you blame me for being stuck?
F Bb
My Florida Keys, have I played you enough?
Gm Bb C
Florida Keys, do you see right through my bluff
 
F Bb
I'm asking you tomorrow
F Gm
I'm asking you to change
F Bb
How did it ever come this far?
F Bb C
Thought I'd have moved away
 
F Bb
We are caught on the overseas highway
Gm Bb C
Leaving our vacation down way south
F Gm
We have both been unusually silent
Bb C
Yeah, I think something's wearing me down
 
F Bb
Ooh, I'm caught below a hurricane
F Gm
Her eyes staring down at me
F Bb
But it's been calm for a while now
F Gm
Why won't I admit it's time to leave?
 
F Bb
Oh, Florida man and your Florida drawl
Gm
Caught an endangered fish
Bb
To hang on some snow bird's wall
F Bb
Babies and spring breakers and cold dealers too
Gm
All tanning by the beach
Bb C
I hate it, but I love it too
 
F Bb
They're killing all the mangroves
F Gm
And gentrifying the scene
F Bb
They're coming out in droves
Gm
And ripping out the soul
Bb C
They're trying to make me leave
 
F Bb
We'd go outside and play our games
F Gm
Unbothered by the heat
F Bb
But now my swamp is up in flames
Gm
Fort Lauderdale has changed
Bb C F
It's time to plant my feet somewhere other than the Florida Keys
Bb
Yeah, I've stayed here enough
Gm Bb C
Florida Keys, you've given me all I love
F
Oh, my Florida Keys
Bb
Yeah, I've played you enough
Gm Bb F
