I'm An Island Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Bm][D][G][Gsus2]
[G]

[Verse 1]
I [D]came
down here a year ago
I sold it all and bought this boat
just to [Gsus2]get away[G][Gsus2]
I [D]took you at your word that night
When you said get out of my life
I [Gsus2]left, you[G] stayed
[Gsus2]I'll forget you,[Em]
at least I'll try [Asus4]to[A]
Time [Em]to move on 'cause
that's what [G]I d[Gsus2]o

[Verse 2]
I'm my [D]own man, I'm an [A]is land
[D]Nobody [G]tel[Gsus2]l s me what to do
But [G]I can't get away from you
In this [D]ocean of your [A]memory
[D]Wav[G]e by wave, it [Gsus2]crashes in
And [G]tears me down again
I'm [Bm]an island
[D][G][Gsus2]

[Verse 3]
The [D]sun sets on another day
I sit and drink and waste away in this [G]old
beach [Gsus2]town[G][Gsus2]
[D]Everybody here is so laid back
I pretend to be like that
But [G]every song [Gsus2]still remind
[Em]s me what's behind me[Asus4][A]
I gotta [Em]get some place where
you can't [G]find [Gsus2]me

[Verse 4]
'Cause I'm my [D]own man,
I'm an [A]is land
[D]Nobody [G]tel[Gsus2]l s me what to do
But I can't [G]get away from you
In this [D]ocean of [A]your memory
[D]Wav[G]e by wave, it [Gsus2]crashes in
And tears me [G]down [Gsus2]again
[G]I've been

[Verse 5]
[A]stranded for a while
Girl, my [G]biggest fear
Is I could [A]sail a million miles
and I'd still [Em]be right here

[Verse 6]
I'm my [D]own man, I'm an is[A]land
[C]Nobody tells me what to do
But [G]there's no getting [Gsus2]over you
[G]In this [D]ocean of your [A]memory
[D]Wav[G]e by wave, it crashes in
And tears me down again
I'm an island
[Bm][D][G][Gsus2]

[Verse 7]
I [Bm]came down here a year ago
I [D]sold it all and bought this
boat just to [Gsus2]get away
