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
ChorusCG
We could build an island
DC
You and I could swim beside
CG
Where we could ride the tides
Em
Until we fall asleep at night
oohhhhh AEmVerse-2
A
If you get scared of the space
Em
Between now and those days
A
Then I will take you away
Em
Somewhere fear has no place
A
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
ChorusCG
We could build an island
DC
You and I could swim beside
CG
Where we could ride the tides
Em
Until we fall asleep at night
BridgeG

And everything I want for us to do

To build an island between me and you
