There is no Island - an original

Intro
G - D - F - C - Em
G - D - F - C - Em


C Em
All the sorrow of the world

Bm D
Can’t stop me from thinking of you

Am F
And it pains me to contemplate

C Em
How little that you know

Bm D
We haven’t time to romanticise

F#m C#m
Or stop to take in the view

G D
Looking back we could have prevented it

F#m E
But that’s so much effort, ya know

G - D - F - C - Em
I told you not to go

G - D - F - C - Em
But you left me out in the cold


There’s an island that we can go
And hide and ride out this storm
But its too far away for us to reach
And anyway is on another world

In another time we could plant some trees
And spend our lives watching them grow
Just to see our children rip them up
To make way for their machines

I told you not to go
I asked you not to go
I begged you not to go
But you left me out in the cold

Stay with me
so I can breathe

I told you not to go
But you left me out in the cold
Now there’s nowhere left to go
And it’s the end of the show
