Verse 1 Bm If I'm a desert, My face is the wind Bm I know where I'm going And I know where I've been A You're the horizon and the wide open space A And I surround you caressing your face Bm There's not a limit to the things that I'd do Bm I'd give you stars but the stars wouldn't do A You're like the lava burning buried below A An eruption but too early to show Chorus Bm We are islands Bm Hear our sirens A And so we wait... (wait, down, put it right in front of me) A We wait... (wait, down, put it right in front of me) Bm 'Cause when pressure heightens Bm Our coal makes diamonds A And so we wait... (wait, down, in front of me) A We wait... (wait, down, wait, down) Interlude Bm Bm A Bm Bm A Bm Bm (2x) Whoa... (2x) A A G A A G A A (2x) Whoa...
