            G
A winter's day
      C                  G
In a deep and dark December
Am  D    C C/B  G
  I am alo______one
Am              Bm     Am               Bm
Gazing from my window to the streets below
      Am             C        C/B      D
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow

        G
I am a rock
        D  G
I am an island

            G
I've built walls
   C                 G
A fortress deep and mighty
      Am   D   C C/B    G
That none may pe___enetrate
  Am                Bm          Am               Bm
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain
      Am                C    C/B    D
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain

C       G
I am a rock
C       D  G
I am an island

               G
Don't talk of love
      C                 G
I've heard the words before
    Am    D         C  C/B   G
E|t's| sleeping in my me---emory
       Am                Bm         Am                 Bm
And I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died
     Am             C     C/B         D
If I never loved I never would have cried

C        G
I am a rock
C       D  G
I am an island

           G
I have my books
        C            G
And my poetry to protect me
    Am     D        C  C/B  G
I am shielded in my a____armor
Am            Bm    Am             Bm
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb
   Am               C      C/B     D
I touch no one and no one touches me

C       G
I am a rock
C       D  G
I am an island

       Am   D       G
And a rock feels no pain
       Am      D      G
And an island never cries
