[Verse 1]
D
Island, I see you in the distance

            D
I feel that your existence

         G5
Is not unlike my own

D
Island, they say no man is like you

             D
They say you stand alone

            G5
Sometimes I feel that way too
[Pre-Chorus]
         D        Asus   A
It's the need for love?

A                   A#dim7
Heart and soul accompaniment

Bm               E              A   Asus  A
Seems to make me different from you
[Chorus]
       Bm               Em            A
Well I tried to book passage, but you have no ports

      Bm                         E
And I tried to sail in, but your wind and waters

A
 tore my sails and broke up my oars.
[Verse 2]
D
Island, I see you in the moonlight,

               D
silhouettes of ships in the night

             G5
Just make me want that much more

D
Island, I see you in all of my dreams

              D                                 G5
Maybe someday I'll have the means to reach your distant shore
[Pre-Chorus]
         D         Asus  A
When the need for love

A                   A#dim7
Heart and soul accompaniment

   Bm              E              A    Asus  A
No longer makes me different from you
[Chorus]
       Bm                   Em
Well I tried to build bridges

         A
But they all fell down

         Bm                  E
and I've taken to the air on wings of silver

A
 But always hit the ground
[Instrumental] D D D G D D D G D Asus A [Chorus]
       Bm                Em           A
Well I tried to book passage, but you have no ports

      Bm                        E
And I tried to sail in but your wind and waters

A
 tore my sails and broke up my oars.
[Verse 3]
D
Island, I see you in the moonlight,

               D
silhouettes of ships in the night

             G5
Just make me want that much more
[Outro] D D D G D D D G
