Chords with lyrics

Intro:
G+G E minorEm A minorAm D MajorD B minorBm C majorC A minorAm D MajorD


Verse 1:
G+G           E minorEm
So I head towards the coast
A minorAm           D MajorD
It is always fresh and clear
B minorBm            C majorC
Where there’s no familiar faces I can recognise
A minorAm           D MajorD
A augmentedA place to go and to forget


Verse 2:
G+G              E minorEm
I watch the seasons turn to years
A minorAm              D MajorD
But it still feels like yesterday
B minorBm           C majorC                 A minorAm
When the city burns so bright, bright enough to steal my sight
           D MajorD
Lead me blindly on my way

Chorus 1:
    G+G
You can reach for the stars
     D MajorD
When they fall, boy it breaks your heart
     C majorC
Know that fickle fashion fades so soon
   B minorBm         C majorC
Let’s build an island for me and you
   B minorBm         C majorC        G+G
Let’s build an island for all the world to see
    D MajorD
you and me
   C majorC          D MajorD
as I weep, these tears I cry
      G+G         E minorEm
I curse the day that fills my life
   A minorAm        D MajorD
Now I run, but I can’t hide
     G+G
From your love



Verse 3:
G+G         E minorEm
Generations will replace
A minorAm           D MajorD
All these monuments in time
B minorBm            C majorC
So don’t contaminate the innocence of pure of mind
A minorAm          D MajorD
With the ignorance of man
G+G                 E minorEm
And if there’s one thing that I’ve learned
A minorAm             D MajorD
With my short time here on Earth
B minorBm          C majorC
Not to criticise the little things people do or say
A minorAm          D MajorD
Just to recognise its worth

Chorus 2:
    G+G
You can reach for the stars
     D MajorD
When they fall, boy it breaks your heart
     C majorC
Know that fickle fashion fades so soon
   B minorBm         C majorC
Let’s build an island for me and you
   B minorBm         C majorC        G+G
Let’s build an island for all the world to see
    D MajorD
you and me
   C majorC          D MajorD
as I weep, these tears I cry
      G+G         E minorEm
I curse the day that fills my life
   A minorAm        D MajorD
Now I run, but I can’t hide
     G+G
From your love


Outro:
     C majorC        D MajorD
See your face amongst the crowds
     G+G         E minorEm
Hear your voice in all these sounds
   A minorAm        D MajorD
Now I run, but I can’t hide
     G+G
From your love
     G+G
From your love
