Intro: D G A G x4

  D     G  A         G
I spent my life so patient
D   G   A         G
Waiting for the descent
    D    G  A          G
The gift to bring me water
    D       G    A           G
The drought that ends thereafter
  D     G  A              G
I tread my foot most lightly
D    G   A             G
Past the day left nightly
    D   G    A        G
And striving to be honest
    D   G    A           G
But hopeless without ballast

        Bm        A      G         D
For the light did sweep across the sea
Em           D/F#   G      A
You were the keeper of the key
        Bm     A     G     D
And the holder of my destiny
Em         D/F#          G          A
A thousand poems for the sight I've seen
  D          Em       D/F#  G
I've found myself the island

  D    G    A          G
A tree will bend and offer
    D      G  A          G
The branch to give the altar
   D  G    A           G
My promise will not falter
   D   G  A          G
To you my dearest lover

        Bm        A      G         D
For the light did sweep across the sea
Em           D/F#   G      A
You were the keeper of the key
        Bm     A     G     D
And the holder of my destiny
Em         D/F#          G          A
A thousand poems for the sight I've seen
  D          Em       D/F#  G
I've found myself the island


Dm C Bb  Dm C G  Dm C Bb  Dm C G  Dm


    C      Bb    Dm    
And now we lay
C        G    Dm     
Down the day
   C          Bb    Dm    
In this we're safe
   C        G
We know the way

Where we're going

       Bm        A      G         D
For the light did sweep across the sea
Em           D/F#   G      A
You were the keeper of the key
        Bm     A     G     D
And the holder of my destiny
Em         D/F#          G          A
A thousand poems for the sight I've seen
  D          Em       D/F#  G
I've found myself the island
  D          Em       D/F#  G
I've found myself the island
  D          Em       D/F#  G    D
I've found myself the island
