"Island Of Anger"


Capo 2

E MajorE         D MajorD
It's a beautiful world
E MajorE       D MajorD
Filled with stupid people
E MajorE           D MajorD
Beating each other's brains out
       E MajorE   D MajorD
Like the cavemen did
A augmentedA
But I'm stuck right here
C majorC
Wondering why I can't do
      E MajorE     D MajorD E MajorE D MajorD
Like the brave men did

E MajorE      D MajorD
Oh don't I know
E MajorE       D MajorD
This ain't no way to live
     E MajorE     D MajorD
When everything I see and hear
E MajorE      D MajorD
Makes me mad
   A augmentedA
And there's no silver lining
   C majorC
The stuff that doesn't get me angry
 BB
Makes me sad

Chorus 1:
E MajorE          A augmentedA
Hard to believe I'm not a kid
E MajorE           A augmentedA
Hard to believe the things I did
F# minorF#m                BB
Hard to believe the ways I hid my love
E MajorE             A augmentedA
Wondering now why I'm not free
E MajorE            A augmentedA
Wondering how I came to be
F# minorF#m               BB
An island of anger in a sea of love

   E MajorE   D MajorD
And love rules
 E MajorE      D MajorD
This much I understand
   E MajorE        D MajorD       E MajorE    D MajorD
But all the ones who live for peace die for it
A augmentedA
Still somehow that message comes
   C majorC             BB
And every day I struggle to decipher it

Chorus 1:
E MajorE          A augmentedA
Hard to believe I'm not a kid
E MajorE           A augmentedA
Hard to believe the things I did
F# minorF#m                BB
Hard to believe the ways I hid my love
E MajorE             A augmentedA
Wondering now why I'm not free
E MajorE            A augmentedA
Wondering how I came to be
F# minorF#m               BB
An island of anger in a sea of love

Refrain:

G+G
Younger by half
    C majorC
I was quick to laugh
G+G                C majorC
Hopeful and alive to what might come
E minorEm
Where's my spark
A augmentedA
Skies so dark
Am7Am7      E minorEm         G+G D MajorD BB
All I seem to hear is a distant drum

An island of anger in a sea of love

Chorus 2:
F# minorF#m               BB
Hard to believe the time's so short
F# minorF#m             G# minorG#m
Hard to believe I'm still in port
G# minorG#m                  DbDb
Dying to set a different sort of course
F# minorF#m             BB

And how to become a refugee

From an island of anger
       DbDb
In a sea of love
F# minorF#m E MajorE
Love
