Island, by Emerson Hart
(Tabbed by Meir Weinberg)
Capo on 3rd Fret
[Intro]
Em Bm C Dadd4add9
Em Bm C Dadd4add9
[Verse 1]
G/B Cadd9 G
It took a lifetime burning bridges
G/B Cadd9 G
That I had to cross alone
G/B Cadd9 G
Lies were the string for all the stitches
G/B Cadd9 G
Words to cover these old bones
G/B Cadd9 G
I never thought I’d find my lighthouse
G/B Cadd9 G
Or safer waters I could cross
G/B Cadd9 G
Always running from the right now
G/B Cadd9 G
One more drink will fill the loss
G/B Cadd9 G
Ooooooooohhh
G/B Cadd9 G
I survived because of you
[Chorus]
Em Bm
It always felt like I was flying
C Dadd4add9
But it was just the water rising
Em Bm
In all the swimming I remembered
C Dadd4add9
Her saying “don’t you surrender”
Em Bm
Love I’m tired but I’m still fighting
C Dadd4add9
I need your arms to pull me right in
Em Bm
And carry me
C Dadd4add9
To your
G/B Cadd9 G G/B Cadd9 G
island
[Verse 2]
G/B Cadd9 G
Hollow driftwood worn and battered
G/B Cadd9 G
I’d follow every heavy storm
G/B Cadd9 G
I was wrecked and I was scattered
G/B Cadd9 G
When I washed up on your shore
G/B Cadd9 G
Ooooooooohhh
