Dm C
Waiting for the bus stop
Dm C
Waiting for the concrete black top to settle down
Dm C Bb
Long enough for me to get off and get a little ground
Dm C
I'm ready for the sea change
Dm C
Helpless felt this coming from a mile away
Dm C Bb C
And now you're looking at me, babe, and how well separate if we can
F Am Bb
Cause I still count on one hand the number of good men I know
C Dm
Its like I'm standing on the edge with just a telephone wire
Bb F
Trying to get to you first to say the world's on fire
C Dm Bb
Holding my breath until I know you're alright because the water will only rise
When will you realize
C Dm
You must become an island
Bb F
You must become an island
C Dm
You must become an island

And see for yourself that that's what I am

Dm C
You always dirty up the windows

If you keep em at bay that way no one's gonna surprise you by getting too close

Anybody but me though

You've made exceptions to you rules

And now we're staring down truth neither one of us wants to know
C Dm
Its like I'm standing on the edge with just a telephone wire
Bb F
Trying to get to you first to say the world's on fire
C Dm Bb
Holding my breath until I know you're alright because the water will only rise
When will you realize
C Dm
You must become an island
Bb F
You must become an island
C Dm
You must become an island
Bb F C Dm
And see for yourself the horizon is all we have
Bb F C Dm Bb
The horizon is all we have
C Dm Bb
Holding my breath until I know you're alright because the water will only rise
