Intro: G Verse 1: D Island I see you in the distance I feel that your existence G Is not unlike my own D E D Island they say no man is like you A They say you stand alone D G Sometimes I feel that way too
D Is it the need for love? Bridge: A Heart and soul accompaniment Bb Bm E A That seems to make me different from you Chorus: Bm Em A Well I tried to book passage, but you have no ports Bm E And I tried to sail in but your wind and waters A Tore my sails and broke my oars. Verse 2: D Island I see you in the moonlight Silhouettes of ships in the night G Just make me long that much more D Island I see you in all of my dreams G But I'm a man with no means to reach your distant shore D When the need for love Bridge: A Heart and soul accompaniment Bb Bm E A That seems to make me different from you Bm Em Well I tried to build bridges A But they all fell down Bm I've taken to the air on wings of silver E But always hit the ground Chorus: Bm Em A Well I tried to book passage, but you have no ports Bm E And I tried to sail in but your wind and waters A Tore my sails and broke my oars. Verse 3: D Island I see you in the moonlight Silhouettes of ships in the night G Just make me long that much more Solo: D
