Bm
If I'm a desert,

Bm
I know where I'm going

A
You're the horizon and the wide open space

A
And I surround you caressing your face

Bm
There's not a limit to the things that I'd do

Bm
I'd give you stars but the stars wouldn't do

A
You're like the lava burning buried below

A
An eruption but too early to show

Bm
We are islands

Bm
Hear our sirens

      A
And so we wait... (wait, down, put it right in front of me)

A
We wait... (wait, down, put it right in front of me)

            Bm
'Cause when pressure heightens 

Bm
Our coal makes diamonds 

      A
And so we wait... (wait, down, in front of me)

A
We wait... (wait, down, wait, down)

Bm Bm A Bm Bm A Bm Bm (2x)
Whoa... (2x)

A A G A A G A A (2x)
Whoa... (2x)

Bm
The flood comes shifting the soil

Bm
Our blood runs thicker than oil

A
It's like erosion cutting straight to the core

A
No human nature ever felt this before

Bm
And we become an unbreakable vow

Bm                               A
I wanna hold you up, higher than most

A
Because it feels like flying out

Bm
We are islands

Bm
Hear our sirens

      A
And so we wait... (wait, down, put it right in front of me)

A
We wait... (wait, down, put it right in front of me)

            Bm
'Cause when pressure heightens 

Bm
Our coal makes diamonds 

      A
And so we wait... (wait, down, in front of me)

A
We wait... (wait, down, wait, down)
