Verse 1:
C majorC                    A minorAm
I'm not just a girl, and I won't stay inside
                           FF
All the things that I've seen won't make me run and hide
              G+G
But all I hear, oh, all I hear
                       C majorC
is I should be alone, yeah, I should live in fear
                    A minorAm
It's so hard to trust, so I shouldn't try
                        FF
I need to build some walls if I don't want to cry
               G+G
Don't rely on people in this town
                            C majorC
Yeah, they'll break your heart, yeah, they'll let you down

Chorus:
              A minorAm
They say: “you should be an island”
   FF            G+G
And I say: “will that make me happy?”
C majorC              A minorAm
They say: “you should be an island”
   FF   G+G       C majorC

Whoa... Whoooa...

Verse 2:
C majorC                     A minorAm
Well I can't live alone, I can't live in fear
                    FF
We can all be loved on this spinning sphere
               G+G
If we all get hurt and run away
                         C majorC
Well, these holes in our hearts, they won't go away
