G
If Iʼm a desert,
D
My face is the wind
Em
I know where Iʼm going
C
And I know where Iʼve been
GD
Youʼre the horizon and the wide open space
EmC
And I surround you caressing your face
G
Thereʼs not a limit to the things that Iʼd Do
D
Iʼd give you stars but the stars wouldnʼt Do
Em
Youʼre like the lava burning buried below
C
An eruption but too early to show
G
We are islands
D
Hear our sirens
Em
And so we wait... (wait, down, put it right in front of me)
C
We wait... (wait, down, put it right in front of me)
G
ʼCause when pressure heightens
D
Our coal makes diamonds
Em
And so we wait... (wait, down, in front of me)
C
We wait... (wait, down, wait, down)
G
The flood comes shifting the soil
D
Our blood runs thicker than oil
Em
Itʼs like erosion cutting straight to the core
C
No human nature ever felt this before
G
And we become an unbreakable vow
D
I wanna hold you up, higher than most
EmC
Because it feels like flying out
G
We are islands
D
Hear our sirens
Em
And so we wait... (wait, down, put it right in front of me)
C
We wait... (wait, down, put it right in front of me)
G
ʼCause when pressure heightens
D
Our coal makes diamonds
Em
And so we wait... (wait, down, in front of me)
C
We wait... (wait, down, wait, down)
(Wait, down, in front of me)
G
We are islands
D
Hear our sirens
Em
And so we wait... (wait, down, put it right in front of me)
C
We wait... (wait, down, put it right in front of me)
G
ʼCause when pressure heightens
D
Our coal makes diamonds
Em
And so we wait... (wait, down, in front of me)
C
We wait... (wait, down, wait, down)
Wait, down, in front of me.
Wait, down.
