[Verse 1]
[A](Ha[Bm] ha h[A]aa)
(Ha ha haa)
[Bm](Ha ha [A]haa[Bm])
Waiting for the [D]bus stop

[Verse 2]
[A]
[Asus4][A][Bm]
Waiting for the concrete black top
[A]to settle dow[Bm]n
Long enough for me to get [A]off
And get [E]a little [G]ground
(Ha ha haa)
[Bm]I'm ready for [D]the sea [Bm]change
[A][Asus4][A][Bm]
Helpless felt this coming
from [A]a mile [Bm]away
And now you're looking at me [A]babe,
And how [E]we'll separate if [G]we can
'Cause I still count on one [D]hand
[F#m]The number of good men I [D]know
[G]

[Verse 3]
It's like I'm stand[A]ing on the edge
with just a [Bm]telephone wire
Trying to [D]get [G]to you first to say
the world's [D]on [G]fire[A]
Holding my breath until I [Bm]know
you're alright
Because the [G]water will only rise
[D]When will you real[A]ize (ha ha haa)
You must become an is[Bm]land
[G](Ha ha haa) you must
become an is[D]land
[A](Ha ha haa) you must
become an is[Bm]land
(Ha ha haa) and [G]see for yourself
That's what [Bm]I am[D][Bm][A]

[Verse 4]
[Bm](Ha ha [D]haa[A])[Bm]

[Verse 5]
You always [Bm]dirty up the [D]win[A]dows[D][A]
If [Bm]you keep 'em at bay that way
no one's gonna sur[A]prise you
By getting too [Bm]close
Anybody but [D]me [Bm]though[A]
You've made [E]ex
ceptions to you [G]rules
And now we're staring down [D]truth
Neither [F#m]one of us wants to know
[G]

[Verse 6]
It's like I'm [A]standing on the edge with
just a [Bm]telephone [A]wir[Bm]e
Trying to [G]get to you first to say
the [D]world's on [G]fire[A]
Holding my breath un[D]til I
[Bm]know you're alright
Because the [G]water will only rise
When [D]will you [A]realize (ha ha haa)
You must become an is[Bm]land
[G](Ha ha haa) you must
become an is[D]land
[A](Ha ha haa) you must become
an is[Bm]land
(Ha ha haa) and [G]see for yourself the
[D]horizon is all we [A]have[Bm]
[G]See for yourself the [D]horizon is
all [A]we have

[Interlude 1]
[A][Bm][G]

[Verse 7]
(Ha [A]ha haa)
(Ha ha haa)

[Verse 8]
Holding my [A]breath until [Bm]I know
you're alright
Because the water will only rise
