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

Chorus:
                            Am
They say: “you should be an island”
     F                        G
And I say: “will that make me happy?”
C                           Am
They say: “you should be an island”
     F      G              C
And I say: “why do I feel empty?”
   Am      F G
Whoa... Whoooa...

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

Chorus:
                            Am
They say: “you should be an island”
     F                        G
And I say: “will that make me happy?”
C                           Am
They say: “you should be an island”
     F      G              C
And I say: “why do I feel empty?”
   Am      F G
Whoa... Whoooa...
