^BmIf I'm a desert, My face is the wind ^BmI know where I'm going

And I know where I've been

^AYou're the horizon and the wide open space ^AAnd I surround you caressing your face

^BmThere's not a limit to the things that I'd do ^BmI'd give you stars but the stars wouldn't do ^AYou're like the lava burning buried below ^AAn eruption but too early to show

[Chorus]

^BmWe are islands ^BmHear our sirens And so^A we wait... (wait, down, put it right in front of me) ^AWe wait... (wait, down, put it right in front of me) 'Cause when ^Bmpressure heightens ^BmOur coal makes diamonds And so^A we wait... (wait, down, in front of me) ^AWe wait... (wait, down, wait, down)

[Interlude] Bm Bm A Bm Bm A Bm Bm (2x) Whoa... (2x) A A G A A G A A (2x) Whoa... (2x) (repeat) [Verse 2]

^BmThe flood comes shifting the soil ^BmOur blood runs thicker than oil ^AIt's like erosion cutting straight to the core ^ANo human nature ever felt this before ^BmAnd we become an unbreakable vow ^BmI wanna hold you up, higher than ^Amost ^ABecause it feels like flying out

[Chorus]
