G                                Em
Love, lay me down slay me with whispers
D
Reassure me that it's alright
G                              Em
I, I hit the deck, I hit rock bottom
D
But you saw me, then you caught me
C                            Em    
Shining like a ray of hope swift like a turning sea
D
Angel to comfort me
C
Cradling my head in your hands
D                   G           Em
I looked up at the sun and the fog cleared, 
   D
I saw you

       C            D        G     Em
And I want you and that's so terrifying
       C           D       G        Em
And I want you to help put out the fire
Em
Cause I am an island, you are the ocean
               D       G           Em
And all of my sadness taken by the sea

G                              Em
Fall, I took a fall. I took it easy
D
On the surface I was perfect
G                                       Em
But down, way down below, I started believing
    D
I deserved it. Was I worthless?
C
Sinking like a rescue boat
Em
Washing right over me
D
Vessel is struggling
                             C
Waving both my hands in the air
          D            G
Then the blindness of love
           Em          D
Then your arms all around me

       C            D        G     Em
And I want you and that's so terrifying
       C           D       G        Em
And I want you to help put out the fire
Em
Cause I am an island, you are the ocean
               D       G           Em
And all of my sadness taken by the sea

C                         G
And I want so much to believe
C                              Em
That I won't disappear in the water
C                                               Em
That I won't always be swimming against the tide

       C            D        G     Em
And I want you and that's so terrifying
       C           D       G        Em
And I want you to help put out the fire
Em
Cause I am an island, you are the ocean
               D       G           Em
And all of my sadness taken by the sea
