         -------------------------------
               
G      Am      C      G      Ctype2

G                                Am
 I gave you a boat so you could sail around the world

C                                  G   Gadd2
 I watched you disappear into the sun

G                                        Am
 I thought about you out there in those vast wide open spaces

C                               Am                       G       Ctype2
 I wondered if you miss me and all our favorite places

G                                Am
 Without a destination drifting aimlessly to find

C                              G   Gadd2
 Keeping your eyes open for a home

G                                      Am
 You stumbled on your port of call and set your anchors deep

C                             Am                      G
 Learned another language one I could never speak

       D                   C
Oh and I, I can see you smiling

     D                  C
On every water-lined horizon

           Am  Am7
If you're lost

                C      G      Ctype2
I'll be your island

G                                    Am
 Before you left we talked about if you'd be coming back

C                                          G   Gadd2
 And "I don't know" is all that you could say

G                           Am
 I remember walking to the docks to wave goodbye

C                                    Am                      G      Ctype2
 I promised that I wouldn't but I couldn't help but cry

G                                  Am
 I got a couple phone calls some postcards in the mail

C                                    G     Gadd2
 To let me know that you were still alive

G                                      Am
 One time I thought I saw you in the square under the clock

C                                     Am                      G
 I felt like such a fool I chased a stranger seven blocks

       D                   C
Oh and I, I can see you smiling

     D                  C
On every water-lined horizon

           Am  Am7
If you're lost

                C      G     Ctype2
I'll be your island

G                            Am
 I set out to find you once naive I never dreamed

C                           G    Gadd2
 Maybe you'd prefer to be alone

G                                 Am
 No sooner did I find you than I gave you to the sea

C                                      Am                   G
 I wish I'd been the sailor that you wanted me to be

       D                   C
Oh and I, I can see you smiling

     D                  C
On every water-lined horizon

           Am  Am7
If you're lost

                C
I'll be your island

                 Am7
I will be your island

                C      G     Ctype2
I'll be your island

G                                Am                    C       G
 I gave you a boat so you could sail around the world
