Intro: Em (G) D x 2
Em (G) D Waiting for the bus stop Em (G) D Waiting for the concrete black top to settle down Em (G) D A C Long enough for me to get off and get a little ground Em (G) D I'm ready for the sea change Em (G) D Helpless felt this coming from a mile away Em (G) D A C And now you're looking at me babe, and how we'll separate if we can G Bm C Cause I still count on one hand the number of good men I know D Em It's like I'm standing on the edge with just a telephone wire C Trying to get to you first to say the world's on fire D Em Holding my breath until I know you're alright C Because the water will only rise
When will you realize
D Em You must become an island C G You must become an island D Em You must become an island C And see for yourself that that's what I am
Em (G) D x 2
Em (G) D You always dirty up the windows Em If you keep 'em at bay that way (G) D Em No one's gonna surprise you by getting too close
(G) D
Anybody but me though
A C You've made exceptions to your rules G Bm C And now we're staring down truth neither one of us wants to know D Em It's like I'm standing on the edge with just a telephone wire C Trying to get to you first to say the world's on fire D Em Holding my breath until I know you're alright C Because the water will only rise
When will you realize
D Em You must become an island C G You must become an island D Em You must become an island C G D Em And see for yourself the horizon is all we have C G D Em C And see for yourself the horizon is all we have D Em Holding my breath until I know you're alright C Because the water will only rise
