🎸 Intro:

D G



🎸 Verse 1:
    Bm     D                    G
And I like when you turn the TV up so loud
        Bm      D                G
I could lie here, just lie here awake for hours
            Bm      D       G
Beneath the static sound of everything crashing down
                  Bm        D
Don’t you want to stay for awhile cause
        G
I could use someone like you around

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
    G                     A
She left his room when he lost
                    Bm
His balance and she didn’t move
         D
Back in again when he found it
       G                 A         Em
Said, "Is it too late to change? I love you"
            G A
And she said
          Bm    D             G        A
You’re an island and it's not my fault
            Em
You’re in denial
          G               A
But can we slip away when nobody’s watching
     Bm                         D
If I promise we get back before they finish talking
    G                   A
The drinks you had went to your head and
       Em
You’re mine again


🎸 Chorus:
                    G
You’re just someone else now
A            Bm
Trying to pretend
          D                   G         A
All those things you’d say in bed never mattered
        Em
But you know they did
                    G        A Bm D  G A Em
You’re just someone else now
  G        A       Bm    D    G A Em
I liked it when he said—
  Em                             G
I liked it when he said we’d be okay


🎸 Verse 2:
      A
And I die
  D                  G
I die when you turn away
                 Bm                  D
And I don’t know what to say when my brother asks
      G
Is it his, is it ours

I am moving out
        Bm                        D
Saw you right from before and you fall through the door
      G                                     Bm
And I get up and go in the cabinet for more
              D                 G                       Bm
If it’s still hard to hear than just pretend you didn’t
            D                        G
Or that you don’t recall because you had a few drinks in you


🎸 Pre-Chorus:
    G                     A
She left his room when he lost
                    Bm
His balance and she didn’t move
         D
Back in again when he found it
       G                 A         Em
Said, "Is it too late to change? I love you"
            G A
And she said
          Bm    D             G        A
You’re an island and it's not my fault
            Em
You’re in denial
          G               A

     Bm                         D

🎸 Bridge:
D                                                 G
 You learned to live out on the wrong side of the tracks

You're an island
D                            G
 And I can’t stay here on my own

I can’t be like this
D                           G
 I learned to kneel in this house

I learned not to mind it
D                G
 But I can’t stay (Stay)
