F    C     F   C         F
I wish I had a tiny island floating in the sea
      C      F       C    F
Palm trees sway, don't get in the way, it's a tropical ease
     C          F    C          F
And everywhere that I keep my silence, no sound returns to me
       C      F        C          F
Just endless waves at the end of our days, the sighing of the seas

  F      C  F           C     F
But yesterday's gone, I don't know where I come from, hmmm
         C
Wonder where I'm going

F       C       F     C           F
The very last time that you saw me off I thought that it was understood
      C     F     C  F      C    F
That I'd be gone for a very long time, I might be gone for good
  F    C   F      C          F
And all that time, all the time, I thought you would never fall
      C   F        C            F
It did not dawn across my mind the time that you lost it all

  F      C  F           C     F
But yesterday's gone, I don't know where I come from, hmmm
           C
Don t know where I'm going

Sometimes I feel like a tiny island floating in the sea
      C      F       C    F
Palm trees sway, don't get in the way, it's a tropical ease
     C      F        C          F
And everywhere that I keep my silence, no sound returns to me
       C      F       C          F
Just endless waves at the end of our days, the sighing of the seas

  F      C  F           C     F
But yesterday's gone, I don't know where I come from, hmmm
         C
Wonder where I'm going
