[Intro]
Am E Am E
[Verse 1]
E
There's nothing stopping you from writing this all down
A
You can't ask why,
G E
You just have to believe
E
There's nothing I can do, you're so far from me now
A G D A
If I look back at all that history I'd see
[Chorus]
Bm A
Such a grand island
E
You were my safety
Bm A
Such a grand island
E D C#m
You would have taken me for your own
Am E Am
[Verse 2]
E
Addicted to the sky, first kin to the water
A
The plans we made,
G E
the time we sacrificed
E
I watched you as your life opened like a flower
A G D A
Now it's too late to try and change our minds
[Chorus]
Bm A
Such a grand island
E
You were my safety
Bm A
Such a grand island
E D C#m
You would have taken me for your own
C/G Am E Am
[Bridge]
Am E
I've never seen a light in this life until tonight
Am E
I never did what's right though I tried to get it right
Am E
Ah, You gave your best to me and I gave it back to you
Am E D A
I needed something to believe in (ah)
[Chorus]
Bm A
Such a grand island
E
You were my safety
Bm A
Such a grand island
E
Would you still take me?
Bm A
Such a grand island
E
ah, you were my safety
Bm A
Such a grand island
E D C#m
You would have taken me for your own
[Outro]
