Intro: Em (G) D x 2
Em (G) D
Waiting for the bus stop
Em (G) D
Waiting for the concrete black top to settle down
Em (G) D A C
Long enough for me to get off and get a little ground
Em (G) D
I'm ready for the sea change
Em (G) D
Helpless felt this coming from a mile away
Em (G) D A C
And now you're looking at me babe, and how we'll separate if we can
Cause I still count on one hGand the nBmumber of good men I knCow
It's like I'm stDanding on the edge with just a Emtelephone wire
Trying to gCet to you first to say the world's on fire
D Holding my breath until I kEmnow you're alright
Because the wCater will only rise
When will you realize
D You must become an Emisland
C You must become an Gisland
YDou must become an Emisland
And sCee for yourself that that's what I am
Em (G) D x 2
Em (G) D
You always dirty up the windows
If you kEmeep 'em at bay that way
(G) D Em
No one's gonna surprise you by getting too close
(G) D
Anybody but me though
You've made excAeptions to your rules C
And now we're staring down trGuth neither Bmone of us wants to knCow
It's like I'm stDanding on the edge with just a Emtelephone wire
Trying to gCet to you first to say the world's on fire
D Holding my breath until I kEmnow you're alright
Because the wCater will only rise
When will you realize
D You must become an Emisland
C You must become an Gisland
YDou must become an Emisland
And sCee for yourself the hoGrizon is all we hDave Em
And sCee for yourself the hoGrizon is all we hDave Em C
D Holding my breath until I kEmnow you're alright
Because the wCater will only rise
