[Intro]
G Em Am D Bm C Am D
[Verse 1]
G Em
So I head towards the coast
Am D
It is always fresh and clear
Bm C
Where there’s no familiar faces I can recognise
Am D
A place to go and to forget
[Verse 2]
G Em
I watch the seasons turn to years
Am D
But it still feels like yesterday
Bm C Am
When the city burns so bright, bright enough to steal my sight
D
Lead me blindly on my way
[Chorus 1]
G
You can reach for the stars
D
When they fall, boy it breaks your heart
C
Know that fickle fashion fades so soon
Bm C
Let’s build an island for me and you
Bm C G
Let’s build an island for all the world to see
D
you and me
C D
as I weep, these tears I cry
G Em
I curse the day that fills my life
Am D
Now I run, but I can’t hide
G
From your love
[Verse 3]
G Em
Generations will replace
Am D
All these monuments in time
Bm C
So don’t contaminate the innocence of pure of mind
Am D
With the ignorance of man
G Em
And if there’s one thing that I’ve learned
Am D
With my short time here on Earth
Bm C
Not to criticise the little things people do or say
Am D
Just to recognise its worth
[Chorus 2]
G
You can reach for the stars
D
When they fall, boy it breaks your heart
C
Know that fickle fashion fades so soon
Bm C
Let’s build an island for me and you
Bm C G
Let’s build an island for all the world to see
D
you and me
C D
as I weep, these tears I cry
G Em
I curse the day that fills my life
Am D
Now I run, but I can’t hide
G
From your love
[Outro]
C D
See your face amongst the crowds
G Em
Hear your voice in all these sounds
Am D
Now I run, but I can’t hide
G
From your love
G
From your love
