INTRO
C Am Em G

VERSE 1
C                                Am     Em
Love, lay me down, slay me with whispers
           G
Reassure me that it's all right
C                             Am    Em
I, I hit the deck, I hit rock bottom
               G
But you saw me, then you caught me

PRECHORUS 1
Dm                          C
Shining like a ray of hope, swift like a turning sea
G               
Angel to comfort me, cradling my head in your hands
Dm                     C                       G
I looked up at the sun, and the fog cleared, I saw you

CHORUS
      F             Am              Em   F
And I want you, and that's so terrifying
                  Am                Em   F
And I want you to help put out the fire
                    G Am
Cause I am an island, you are the ocean, 
    F                  G            Am
and all of our sadness taken by the sea

C Am Em G

VERSE 2
C                              Am  Em
Fall, I took a fall, I took it easy
              G
on the surface I was perfect
    C                                Am      Em
but down, way down below, I started believing
              G
I deserved it, was I worthless?

PRECHORUS 2
Dm                         C
sinking like a rescue boat washing right over me
G                                                  Dm
vessel is struggling, waving both my hands in the air
                      C                          G
then the blindness of love, then your arms all around me

CHORUS
      F             Am              Em   F
And I want you, and that's so terrifying
                  Am                Em   F
And I want you to help put out the fire
                    G Am
Cause I am an island, you are the ocean, 
    F                  G            Am     Dm
and all of our sadness taken by the sea


BRIDGE
      Em                 F
and I want so much to believe
        G                     Dm
that I won’t disappear in the water
        Em                          F        G    C
that I won’t always be swimming against the ti----de

Am Em G C                   Am Em                  G
        Ooooh Ooh  Hoo ooh ooh Hah oh oh hah oh oh hoh

CHORUS
      F             Am          Em     F
And I want you, is that so terrifying?
                  Am                Em   F
And I want you to help put out the fire
                    G Am
Cause I am an island, you are the ocean, 
    F                  G            Am 
and all of our sadness taken by the sea, the sea
F           Am         Em              F
I am an island, oh but you are the ocean
                  G     C      Am
all of my sadness taken by the sea
