[C#] [D#m] [F#] [C#]
[D#m] [F#]
[C#] [D#m] [F#] Waiting for the [G#] bus stop [C#] [D#m] Waiting for the [F#] concrete [C#] block top
To settle [D#m] down Long [F#] enough for me to get [C#] off
And [G#] get a little ground [B]
[D#m] [F#] Ready for the [C#] sea change
[D#m] Helpless [F#] felt this [C#] coming from a mile away
[D#m] And now you're [F#] looking at [C#] me babe And [G#] I will separate if we [B] can
Cause I still count on [F#] one hand The [A#m]
number of good men [F#] I know
[B] It's [C#] like I'm standing on the edge [D#m] of a tristy telephone wire
[B] Trying to get to you first To say the [F#] world's on [C#] fire
Holding my breath [D#m] until I know you're alright
[B] Cause the water will only [F#] rise When will you [C#] realize
We must become [D#m] an island [B] We must [F#] become an island
[C#] We must [F#] become [D#m] an island And [B] steal it from the sun
That's what I [D#m] am [F#]
[C#] [D#m] [F#] [C#]
[D#m] You're always [F#] dirty out the window
[C#] [D#m] Keeping my bay that [F#] way No one's gonna [C#] surprise you
By getting too [D#m] close Anybody [F#] but me though
[C#] [G#] You've made exceptions to your [B] rules And now we're staring [F#] down through
[A#m] Neither one of us wants [F#] to know
It's [C#] like I'm standing on the edge [D#m] of a tristy telephone wire
[B] Trying to get to you first To [F#] say the world's on [C#] fire
Holding my [D#m] breath until I know you're alright
[B] Cause the water will only [F#] rise When will you [C#] realize
We must become [D#m] an island [B] We must become [F#] an island
[C#] We must become [D#m] an island
[B] Oh see for yourself [F#] The horizon is all [C#] we have
[D#m]
Oh [B] see for [F#] yourself The horizon is all [C#] we have
[D#m]
[B] [F#] Until
[B] [C#] [D#m]
tomorrow Because [B] the water will only rise
