Beautiful song from Rise To Your Knees!
(I'm pretty sure the lyrics aren't 100% correct, but I can't really figure it out) 

Intro: G F F F (x4) G

 C               G       F              C
Someday on the moonwalk everything was right
 C             G        F          C
Bounced on the onfloat history of life
 C               G          F          F
Somewhere in the afterglow peeling it fell
          C               G            F    F F F
And it's good to see the happiness so far

            C                  G
You're the grass, you're the trees
             F                   C
You're the thing that makes the wind
            C             G
You're the roots of the sky
          F       F F F
You're an island

           C                 G
You never move, you never sleep
             F               C
You're the thought I cannot keep
          C               G
You're a denessen of the deep
          F       F F F G
You're an island

 C               G
Always in the never glades
 F               C
Purple wings in five
 C               G       F               C 
Predators in a picture, golden eyes and I
 C                G         F          F
Somewhere in the afterglow peeling it fell
            C             G             F    F F F
Where it's coming from no one can ever tell

            C                  G
You're the grass, you're the trees
             F                   C
You're the thing that makes the wind
            C             G
You're the roots of the sky
          F       F F F
You're an island

           C                 G
You never move, you never sleep
             F               C
You're the thought I cannot keep
          C               G
You're a denessen of the deep
          F       F F F G
You're an island

 C                 G        F             C
Somewhere on the earth now everything is cool
 C                 G          F              C
Drinking from the overflow splash becomes a pool
 C             G          F          F
Always in the after glow peeling it fell
            C             G             F    F F F
Where it's coming from no one can ever tell

            C                  G
You're the grass, you're the trees
             F                   C
You're the thing that makes the wind
            C             G
You're the roots of the sky
          F       F F F
You're an island

           C                 G
You never move, you never sleep
             F               C
You're the thought I cannot keep
          C               G
You're a denessen of the deep
          F       F F F
You're an island

           C                 G
You never move, you never sleep
             F               C
You're the thought I cannot keep
          C               G
You're a denessen of the deep
          F       F F F
You're an island

            C                 G
You're the moon, you're the glass
       F                C
Down stone the donkeys ass
      C               G
Up above the heavens laugh
          F       F F F G
You're an island
