Intro:

C D Em G
C D Em G

Verse 1:
C           D
 The sea is dark and cold
   Em              G
It vows to drag us down
C            D
 Our feet forget the touch
   Em
Of peace and solid ground
C             D
 We're barely floating now
   Em                 G
We can't keep up this pace
C    D                Em
 Something must sink away
C    D              Em
 For you, I'd sink away
C                D
 We've clawed so desperately
      Em            G
For a future out of reach
C            D
 To keep our heads above
    Em
The truth beneath our feet
C             D
 I know we're only now
   Em            G
Prolonging what awaits
C     D                 Em
 Love shapes a heartless fate
C    D              Em
 For you, I'll sink away

Chorus:
C                D
In this pain, an island stands
     Em               G
With warm and white inviting sands
  C                 D                Em
I wish that somehow I could reach this place
        C                 D
But the more I swim, the more I see
  Em              G
I simply just can never be
C                D                 Em
Living all the dreams I planned to make
C       D           Em
 Still, I'll fall unafraid
   C         D     Em
So you don't sink away

Verse 2:
C            D
 The panic's rising in me
Em                G
Like the tugging tide
C             D
 But promised calmer waters
Em
Lay my doubts aside
C              D
 Hope lifts my weighted mind
    Em                   G
And though my heart will break
C       D             Em
 Love's left within my wake
C     D            Em
 That cannot sink away

Chorus:
C                D
In this pain, an island rests
      Em            G
Where all I want is safely kept
  C                 D                Em
I wish that somehow I could reach this place
        C                 D
But the more I swim, the more I see
  Em              G
I simply just can never be
   C                    D                  Em
So I'll drown with the dreams I planned to make
C    D           Em
 And I'll fall unafraid
   C         D     Em
So you don't sink away

Bridge:
C          D
 The quiet rushes in
    Em               G
The roaring waves subside
      C
And I feel a calm
     D             Em
I've never known before
    C                  D
Who knew a heart could beat the doubt
     Em             G
Deep down that lays inside
C        D               Em      G
 When it beats for something more?
C  D               Em
 I finally see the shore

Chorus:
C                D
In this pain, an island rests
      Em              G
Where all I loved are safely kept
    C                 D                 Em
Somehow, I've found myself here, in its place
        C               D
And the more I see, the less I grieve
  Em            G
I fade away, so you can be
C              D                Em
Living all the dreams you planned to make
C    D             Em
 And you'll live unafraid
C  D               Em
 I know you'll be okay
    C        D      Em
For you, I'd sink  .
