[Intro] F Ab/F Gb/F A/F F Ab/F Gb/F F [Verse]
Bbm
I wanted exactly what you did

   Ebm         Eb                Ab
An island for two in the clouds

     Gb                      Bbm
With gas and electric included

            Gb                      F    Gb F
Floating above all the noise of the city
[Pre-Chorus]
 Ab                           Db
Away from the traffic and crowds

           Ebm                      F
Happily cast away, sleeping 'til noon

    Ab                              Db
We bobbed and we laughed on our mattress raft

                  F   Ab/F   Gb/F
In our bedroom lagoon

    A/F           F   Gb/F    F7
We bathed in the moon
[Chorus]
Gb
Where did it go?

F                Bbm
Where did it go?

           Bb
Was it washed away?

Gb
Where did it go?

F           Bbm            Bb
I thought I saw it here yesterday

Ebm     Ab           Db           Gb    F   Ab/F Gb/F  F
Now suddenly it's drowning in saltwater
[Verse]
Bbm
You wanted the same thing that I did

    Ebm         Eb              Ab
An island with closet space to spare

    Gb                      Bbm
But now that it seems you've decided

   Gb                      F       Gb F
To pack up a suitcase and swim for it
[Pre-Chorus]
     Ab
I think I'm becoming aware

Db               Ebm                              F
Of an unfamiliar feeling of Falling through the floor

Ab
It all looks the same but

Db                       F   Ab/F   Gb/F
Nothing's the same as before

          A/F           F   Gb/F    F7
Like the names on our door
[Chorus]
Gb
Where do they go?

F                Bbm
Where do they go

           Bb
When they disappear?

Gb
Where is the red

F            Bbm            Bb
Dot on the map that says you are here

Ebm      Ab              Db               Gb
Hard to find your way surrounded by saltwater
[Instrumental] F Ab7/F A7/F F Ab7/F A7/F Eb7/Bb E7/Bb Eb7/Bb Gb7/Eb Eb7 E7/Bb Eb7 [Verse]
    Bbm
You dance on the sand the way we did

    Ebm            Gb           F
You know that a step has to miss

    Gb                      Bbm
I thought I knew just what we needed

                 Gb                                    F       Gb F
It's funny how everything looks different through saltwater
[Pre-Chorus]
     Ab                        Db
The thing about islands is this

                           Ebm                  F     Gb F
The important thing to know before you have landed

   Ab                     Db         Gb
An island with two can be paradise

     F                                 Bbm        Bb
With one you're just shipwrecked and stranded
[Chorus]
Gb
Where do you go?

F              Bbm      Bb
How do you swim in a tidal wave?

Gb
What do you do?

F               Bbm            Bb
When do you know that you can't be saved?
[End]
Gb           F
Where do I go?

              Bbm           Bb
I wish you'd tell me 'cause I forget

Gb           F
Up in the clouds

              Bbm           Bb
Up with the smoke from your cigarette?

Gb           F         Bbm           Bb      Gb   F
Where do I go?
