           A C#m    F#m              E
I'm just a big dud, foolish from the start

           A C#m    F#m              E
I make a wrong move, and the world just falls apart

           A C#m    F#m              E           B
And there's no cure for this disease, I'm making up

          D
So it's a farce

           A C#m    F#m              E
I live inside this, head and I'm at war

           A C#m    F#m              E
Hero and villain, same time keeping score

           A C#m    F#m              E          B
And I'm not sure what I'm to do, inside these walls

      D
Not anymore
(prechorus)
     F#m  E  D
With my own life
(chorus)
F#m          E         A            D
Get off the island and swim back to shore

                        F#m                        E      
Girl, I don't think I could even last one second longer

                    A            D
Cause in these waters I'm done for

            F#m                  E         
Now give me one good reason to stay here at all

          A                     D
When the fee is too big, our apartment's too small

F#m                           E
   Where's my life-saver when I'm screaming danger

A C#m    F#m              E
        I'm screaming danger
(prechorus 2)
F#m                    B             D
Get off the Island and swim back to shore
(verse)
           A   C#m    F#m              E
I'm just a victim, of unfortunate circumstance

              A C#m    F#m              E
And this was my choice, oh shit, well I'll be damned

     A C#m    F#m              E
And I got to stop dwelling on what I could have had

        B                      D
Oh the times I could have, oh I just want to
(chorus)
F#m          E         A            D
Get off the island and swim back to shore

                        F#m                        E         
Girl, I don't think I could even last one second longer

                    A            D
Cause in these waters I'm done for

            F#m                  E         
Now give me one good reason to stay here at all

          A                     D
When the fee is too big, our apartment's too small

F#m                           E
   Where's my life-saver when I'm screaming danger

           A C#m    F#m              E
I just can't stay here any longer, help
I just can't stay here any longer, help
        A
I just can't

A
Get off the Island
And maybe, one day
F#m   
   From your sand I'll float away

E
    And never see you again

D
Island

(chorus)              F#m          E         A            D
(Get off the) Get off the island and swim back to shore

                        F#m                        E       
Girl, I don't think I could even last one second longer

                    A            D
Cause in these waters I'm done for

            F#m                  E         
Now give me one good reason to stay here at all

          A                     D
When the fee is too big, our apartment's too small

F#m                           E
   Where's my life-saver when I'm screaming danger

Where's my life-saver when I'm screaming danger

   Where's my life-saver when I'm screaming danger

I'm screaming danger
Screaming danger
