INTRO
C Am Em G
VERSE 1
C Am Em
Love, lay me down, slay me with whispers
G
Reassure me that it's all right
C Am Em
I, I hit the deck, I hit rock bottom
G
But you saw me, then you caught me
PRECHORUS 1
Dm C
Shining like a ray of hope, swift like a turning sea
G
Angel to comfort me, cradling my head in your hands
Dm C G
I looked up at the sun, and the fog cleared, I saw you
CHORUS
F Am Em F
And I want you, and that's so terrifying
Am Em F
And I want you to help put out the fire
G Am
Cause I am an island, you are the ocean,
F G Am
and all of our sadness taken by the sea
C Am Em G
VERSE 2
C Am Em
Fall, I took a fall, I took it easy
G
on the surface I was perfect
C Am Em
but down, way down below, I started believing
G
I deserved it, was I worthless?
PRECHORUS 2
Dm C
sinking like a rescue boat washing right over me
G Dm
vessel is struggling, waving both my hands in the air
C G
then the blindness of love, then your arms all around me
CHORUS
F Am Em F
And I want you, and that's so terrifying
Am Em F
And I want you to help put out the fire
G Am
Cause I am an island, you are the ocean,
F G Am Dm
and all of our sadness taken by the sea
BRIDGE
Em F
and I want so much to believe
G Dm
that I won’t disappear in the water
Em F G C
that I won’t always be swimming against the ti----de
Am Em G C Am Em G
Ooooh Ooh Hoo ooh ooh Hah oh oh hah oh oh hoh
CHORUS
F Am Em F
And I want you, is that so terrifying?
Am Em F
And I want you to help put out the fire
G Am
Cause I am an island, you are the ocean,
F G Am
and all of our sadness taken by the sea, the sea
F Am Em F
I am an island, oh but you are the ocean
G C Am
all of my sadness taken by the sea
