INTRO- A Em x3
Verse-1
A
If the sun is to set
Em
To leave us dark with regret
A
I will work up the strength
Em
To pull our earth back round again
A
And if the ocean should freeze
Em
Before we've sailed all the seas
A
I will drop to my knees
Em
Until Poseidon agrees

We could build an island

You and I could swim beside

Where we could ride the tides

Until we fall asleep at night

oohhhhh A Em
Verse-2
A
If you get scared of the space
Em
Between now and those days
A
Then I will take you away

Somewhere fear has no place

We'd make ashes of our clothes
Em
And grow a garden out of those
A
And watch the water as it rose
Em
To bring the ocean to our toes

We could build an island

You and I could swim beside

Where we could ride the tides
Em
Until we fall asleep at night
