Heather Nova: Oyster: Island
A minorAm 
C majorC 
G+G A minorAm C majorC G+G
Uuu-------------------------
A minorAm C majorC G+G
There are parts of me he'll never know,
A minorAm C majorC G+G
my wild horses and my river beds,
A minorAm C majorC G+G A minorAm C majorC G+G
and in my throat voices he'll never hear.
A minorAm C majorC G+G A minorAm C majorC G+G
He pulls at me like a cherry tree,
A minorAm C majorC G+G A minorAm C majorC G+G
and I can still move, but I don't speak about it.
A minorAm C majorC G+G A minorAm C majorC G+G
Pretend I'm crazy, pretend I'm dead.
A minorAm C majorC G+G A minorAm C majorC G+G
He's to scared to hit me now - he'll bring flowers instead.
A minorAm C majorC G+G A minorAm C majorC G+G
I need an island, somewhere to sink a stone
A minorAm C majorC G+G A minorAm C majorC
I need an island, somewhere to bury you,
G+G A minorAm
somewhere to go
A minorAm C majorC G+G A minorAm C majorC G+G
Uuu-------------------------
A minorAm C majorC G+G A minorAm C majorC G+G
And the dogwoods shimmer in October sun,
A minorAm C majorC G+G
"oh sweet thing" he sings to me,
A minorAm C majorC G+G
"you're the only one."
A minorAm C majorC G+G A minorAm C majorC G+G
I need an island, somewhere to sink a stone
A minorAm C majorC G+G A minorAm C majorC
I need an island, somewhere to bury you,
G+G
somewhere
A minorAm C majorC G+G A minorAm C majorC G+G
I need an island, somewhere to sink a stone
A minorAm C majorC G+G A minorAm C majorC
I need an island, somewhere to bury you,
G+G A minorAm
somewhere to go
A minorAm C majorC G+G A minorAm C majorC G+G
Uuu-------------------------
A minorAm C majorC G+G A minorAm C majorC G+G
And I don't know why I can't tell my sister,
A minorAm C majorC G+G A minorAm C majorC G+G
he spat in my face again, and I don't want to die here.
A minorAm C majorC G+G
You know that dream when your feet won't move,
A minorAm C majorC G+G
you want to come but your body won't let you.
A minorAm C majorC G+G
He steals it from me.
A minorAm C majorC G+G
He steals it from me.
A minorAm C majorC G+G A minorAm C majorC G+G
It shines like sweat, like jewels,
A minorAm C majorC G+G
like something that has died to soon.
A minorAm C majorC G+G
He fucks with the beauty.
A minorAm C majorC G+G
He fucks with the beauty.
A minorAm C majorC G+G A minorAm C majorC G+G
A augmentedA kiss, a kick, a kiss, a kick, a kiss kiss kick.
A minorAm C majorC G+G
He steals it from me.
A minorAm C majorC G+G
It's out of my hands again.
A minorAm C majorC G+G A minorAm C majorC G+G
I need an island, somewhere to sink a stone
A minorAm C majorC G+G A minorAm C majorC
I need an island, somewhere to bury you,
G+G A minorAm
somewhere to go
A minorAm C majorC G+G A minorAm C majorC G+G
