Verse 1:
        C#m                            E
In this room that empties when you're gone
         G#m                            F#
I'm left hanging with no hook to swing from
         C#m                  E
And this solitude I seem bent on
      G#m           F#
On my island, on my island

Verse 2:
          C#m                     E
Why'd you fail to find me for so long?
           G#m                           F#
You're the rocks that I've been breaking on
        C#m                           E
In your seashell where the shore has gone
      G#m           F#
On my island, on my island


Chorus:
G#m                          F#
    There's no raising this wreck from the rubble
E                     C#m
    No escaping, your debts only double
G#m                          F#
    There's no test and no chance to correct it
E                  C#m
    Fire doors or emergency exits
G#m                        F#
    There's no road and no reference to violence
        E                       C#m
    Or levies to pay that will bring you asylum
G#m                        F#
    There's no room for a thief on my island
       E             C#m
    My island, on my island
                  B
    I wanna feel safe

Verse 3:
         C#m                     E
When the night ends on a broken heel
        G#m                     F#
Need to see how the excitement feels
        C#m                       E
Toss my measure on the roulette wheel
      G#m           F#
On my island, on my island


Verse 4:
         C#m                       E
You're a psycho, you're beyond my care
             G#m                             F#
While you're retching, I'll be holding your hair
         C#m                    E
Find our picture perfect Eden there
      G#m           F#
On my island, on my island


Chorus:
G#m                          F#
    There's no raising this wreck from the rubble
E                     C#m
    No escaping, your debts only double
G#m                          F#
    There's no test and no chance to correct it
E                  C#m
    Fire doors or emergency exits
G#m                        F#
    There's no road and no reference to violence
        E                       C#m
    Or levies to pay that will bring you asylum
G#m                        F#
    There's no room for a thief on my island
       E             C#m
    My island, on my island
                  B
    I wanna feel safe


Bridge:
D#m                                D
     My belly's stinging with the sickness
D#m                       E
     Is everyone bigger than me?
