[Intro]
Dm
[Verse]
Dm C F
If you'd say an oust(?) would be devised
I would be there
Dm Bb C
If it did, well, would you be surprised
then
[Chorus]
Well
F Cm
There would be no island
F Db Cm
There is no escape route through the earth
[Verse]
Dm C F
Greeting me all tacks(?) and no return,
I watch it burn
Dm Bb
sorting rocks from ashes
C
and I would build again
[Chorus]
and
F Cm
I would seek no true assistance
F Db Cm
I would sleep on my island with drunken trees
Db Eb F
My island to reach you again
[Bridge]
Well then
Ab Bb
How may I find you
Ab
How have I lost you
Db Eb F
My island to reach you again
[Verse]
Dm C F
Stand to touts(?) and know how bridges fall
There comes a day
Dm Bb C
One can hear them break onehundred miles away
[Chorus]
and
F Cm
there will be no silence
F Db Cm
There will be as tension creeks through the air
[Verse]
Dm C F
say the words and save your world for me
I will be glad
Dm Bb C
If I am why will you be surprised again
[Chorus]
cause
F Cm
I will preach no true defiance
F Db Cm
I will take you to my island with house on stilts
Db Eb F
my island to reach you again
[Bridge]
Well then
Ab Bb
How may I find you
Ab
How have I lost you
Db Eb F
My island to reach you again
[Outro]
Bb Dm
okay at least an outpost
Bb Dm
some distance, people, streets not so close
Bb Cm Dm
that's what you told me
Bb Cm Dm
you sold me (there would be no island)
Bb Cm Dm
that's what you told me
Bb Cm Dm
you sold me (there would be no island)
