Bm If I'm a desert, My face is the wind I know where I'm going And I know where I've been A You're the horizon and the wide open space And I surround you caressing your face Bm There's not a limit to the things that I'd do I'd give you stars but the stars wouldn't do A You're like the lava burning buried below An eruption but too early to show Chorus: Bm We are islands Hear our sirens A And so we wait... (wait, down, put it right in front of me) We wait... (wait, down, put it right in front of me) Bm 'Cause when pressure heightens A Our coal makes diamonds Em And so we wait... (wait, down, in front of me) D We wait... (wait, down, wait, down) The flood comes shifting the soil Our blood runs thicker than oil It's like erosion, cutting straight to the core No human nature ever felt this before And we become an unbreakable vow I wanna hold you up, higher than most Because it feels like flying out We are islands Hear our sirens And so we wait... (wait, down, put it right in front of me) We wait... (wait, down, put it right in front of me) Chorus (Wait, down, in front of me) We are islands Hear our sirens And so we wait... (wait, down, put it right in front of me) We wait... (wait, down, put it right in front of me) Chorus Wait, down, in front of me Wait, down | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA D Em Bm Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
