Intro: Em (G) D x 2

[Em] Waiting for the [(G)]bus st[D]op
[Em] Waiting for the concrete b[(G)]lack t[D]op to settle down
[Em] [(G)] [D] [A]
Lon[C]g enough for me to get off and get a little ground

[Em] I'm ready for the [(G)]sea cha[D]nge
[Em] Helpless felt this [(G)]coming from a m[D]ile away
[Em] [(G)] [D] [A]
And now you're l[G]ooking at me babe, and how we'll separate if we can
Cause I still count on one h[G]and the n[Bm]umber of good men I kn[C]ow

It's like I'm st[D]anding on the edge with just a [Em]telephone wire
Trying to g[C]et to you first to say the world's on fire
[D] Holding my breath until I k[Em]now you're alright
Because the w[C]ater will only rise

When will you realize
[D] You must become an [Em]island
[C] You must become an [G]island
Y[D]ou must become an [Em]island
And s[C]ee for yourself that that's what I am

Em (G) D x 2

[Em] You always dirty up the [(G)]windo[D]ws
If you k[Em]eep 'em at bay that way
No one's [(G)]gonna surpr[D]ise you by getting too clo[Em]se
Anybody but [(G)]me tho[D]ugh
You've made exc[A]eptions to your rules[G]
And now we're staring down tr[G]uth neither [Bm]one of us wants to kn[G]ow

It's like I'm st[D]anding on the edge with just a [Em]telephone wire
Trying to g[C]et to you first to say the world's on fire
[D] Holding my breath until I k[Em]now you're alright
Because the w[C]ater will only rise

When will you realize
[D] You must become an [Em]island
[C] You must become an [G]island
Y[D]ou must become an [Em]island
And s[C]ee for yourself the ho[G]rizon is all we h[D]ave[Em]
[C] [G] [D]
[Em] And see f[C]or yourself the horizon is all we have

[D] Holding my breath until I k[Em]now you're alright
Because the w[C]ater will only rise
