D                 Bm
Islands, from the first time we saw

         G                          D
We could wait for this moment, like rocks on the shore

                Bm
We can never be closer, somehow

        G                     D
For the moment that lasts, is this moment now

         D          G              A                    D
When the night's on fire, will you keep the candlelight burning

                G       A
Hold on to your heart's desire, (When the night's on fire)

         D       G             A                   D
When you see one bird into the wind, another one's turning

                G        A
And the two can fly much higher

       D
We are islands but never too far\

       Em                        \
We are islands                    \

      A                            X2
And I need your light tonight     /

      D                          /
And I need your light tonight   /  

D              Bm
Islands, never been to before

       G                          D
And we climb so high to where the wild birds soar

                           Bm
There's a new path that we found just today

      G                          D
I was lost in the forest and you showed me the way

         D          G              A                    D
When the night's on fire, will you keep the candlelight burning

                G       A
Hold on to your heart's desire, (When the night's on fire)

         D       G             A                   D
When you see one bird into the wind, another one's turning

                G        A
And the two can fly much higher

       D
We are islands but never too far\

       Em                        \
We are islands                    \

      A                            X5
And I need your light tonight     /

      D                          /
And I need your light tonight   /
