Christopher Cross - Island of anger

^EIt's a beautiful wo^Drld ^EFilled with stu^Dpid people ^EBeating each other's br^Dains out Like the cave^Emen did^{D A}But I'm stuck right here ^CWondering why I can't do Like the bra^Eve men did^{D E D}

^EOh don't I k^Dnow ^EThis ain't no w^Day to live When ever^Eything I s^Dee and hear ^EMakes me mad^D And th^Aere's no silver lining The s^Ctuff that doesn't get me angry M^Bakes me sad

^EHard to believe I'm n^Aot a kid ^EHard to believe the th^Aings I did ^F#mHard to believe the ways I hid my l^Bove ^EWondering now why I'm not f^Aree ^EWondering how I came to ^Abe ^F#mAn island of anger in a sea of l^Bove

And l^Eove ru^Dles T^Ehis much I u^Dnderstand But a^Ell the ones who l^Dive for peace d^Eie for it^{D A}Still somehow that message comes And e^Cvery day I struggle to dec^Bipher it

^EHard to believe I'm n^Aot a kid ^EHard to believe the th^Aings I did ^F#mHard to believe the ways I hid my l^Bove ^EWondering now why I'm not f^Aree ^EWondering how I came to ^Abe ^F#mAn island of anger in a sea of l^Bove

^GYounger by half I was qu^Cick to laugh ^GHopeful and alive to what might c^Come ^EmWhere's my spark ^ASkies so dark ^Am7All I seem to h^Emear is a distant dr^Gum^{D B}

^EHard to believe I'm n^Aot a kid ^EHard to believe the th^Aings I did ^F#mHard to believe the ways I hid my l^Bove ^EWondering now why I^A'm not free ^EWondering how I c^Aame to be ^F#mAn island of anger in a sea of l^G#move ^B

^F#mHard to believe the time's so sh^Bort ^F#mHard to believe I'm still in ^G#mport ^G#mDying to set a different sort of course^{Db F#m}Wondering now how I'll get f^Bree ^F#mAnd how to become a re^Bfugee ^G#mFrom an island of anger In a sea of l^Dbove ^F#mLove^E
