Islands chords

[Em] (G) [D]
Waiting for the bus stop
[Em] (G) [D]
Waiting for the concrete black top to settle down
[Em] (G) [D] [A] [C]
Long enough for me to get off and get a little ground

[Em] (G) [D]
I'm ready for the sea change
[Em] (G) [D]
Helpless felt this coming from a mile away
[Em] (G) [D] [A] [C]
And now you're looking at me babe, and how we'll separate if we can
Cause I still count on one h[G]and the n[Bm]umber of good men I kn[C]ow


It's like I'm st[D]anding on the edge with just a [Em]telephone wire
Trying to g[C]et to you first to say the world's on fire
[D] Holding my breath until I k[Em]now you're alright
Because the w[C]ater will only rise

When will you realize
[D] You must become an [Em]island
[C] You must become an [G]island
Y[D]ou must become an [Em]island
And s[C]ee for yourself that that's what I am

Em (G) D x 2

[Em] (G) [D]
You always dirty up the windows
If you k[Em]eep 'em at bay that way
(G) [D] [Em]
No one's gonna surprise you by getting too close
(G) D
Anybody but me though
You've made exc[A]eptions to your rules [C]
And now we're staring down tr[G]uth neither [Bm]one of us wants to kn[C]ow

It's like I'm st[D]anding on the edge with just a [Em]telephone wire
Trying to g[C]et to you first to say the world's on fire
[D] Holding my breath until I k[Em]now you're alright
Because the w[C]ater will only rise

When will you realize
[D] You must become an [Em]island
[C] You must become an [G]island
Y[D]ou must become an [Em]island
And s[C]ee for yourself the ho[G]rizon is all we h[D]ave [Em]
And s[C]ee for yourself the ho[G]rizon is all we h[D]ave [Em] [C]

[D] Holding my breath until I k[Em]now you're alright
Because the w[C]ater will only rise
