VERSE 1
********
D         Bm
Islands, from the first time we saw
     G             D
We could wait for this moment, like rocks on the shore
        Bm
We can never be closer, somehow
    G           D
For the moment that lasts, is this moment now


-------------------------------------------------------------------
BRIDGE
*******
     D     G       A          D
When the night`s on fire, will you keep the candlelight burning
        G    A
Hold on to your heart`s desire, (When the night`s on fire)
     D    G       A          D
When you see one bird into the wind, another one`s turning
        G    A
And the two can fly much higher

-------------------------------------------------------------------
CHORUS
*******
    D
We are islands but never too far\
    Em            \
We are islands          \
   A              X2
And I need your light tonight   /
   D             /
And I need your light tonight  /


-------------------------------------------------------------------
VERSE 2
********
D       Bm
Islands, never been to before
    G             D
And we climb so high to where the wild birds soar
              Bm
There`s a new path that we found just today
   G             D
I was lost in the forest and you showed me the way


-------------------------------------------------------------------
BRIDGE
*******
     D     G       A          D
When the night`s on fire, will you keep the candlelight burning
        G    A
Hold on to your heart`s desire, (When the night`s on fire)
     D    G       A          D
When you see one bird into the wind, another one`s turning
        G    A
And the two can fly much higher


-------------------------------------------------------------------
CHORUS
*******
    D
We are islands but never too far\
    Em            \
We are islands          \
   A              X5
And I need your light tonight   /
   D             /
And I need your light tonight  /
