Verse 1:

D D Bm Bm
I was an island, before you came along
G G A A
Put your boat in my sand, your hand in my hand, your heart in my songs


D D Bm Bm
I was a fighter, and I was so brave
G G A A
But I lowered my sword, when you held me and swore, you'd stay stay stay

G G A A D D A/C# A/C# Bm Bm
Oh I can't do this alone anymore
G G A A D D A/C# A/C# Bm Bm
'Cause I'm no good on my own anymore


G G A A D D A/C# A/C# Bm Bm
what did I do to deserve this? what did you do to me?
G G A A D D
Baby, come back, you know I don't want to be free



Verse 2:

D D Bm Bm
I was a rebel, but I had a cause
G G A A
'Til you came to town, pushed me around, and showed me what love was
D D Bm Bm
I was a wolf, dear, apart from the pack
G G A A
but you answered my cries, in the dead of the night, and told me that you had my back

G G A A D D A/C# A/C# Bm Bm
Oh I can't do this alone anymore
