Em  022000

| D      | Am     | D         | Am |
  Vampires wave and dance on my grave
| D          | Am    | D        | Em |
  Lawyers that gather around a disaster
| D         | Am     | D      | Am |
  Step on the gas, our glorious past
 | D         | Am        | D     | Em |
Is catching up with us and on the horizon...

F#m 244222

                  | C | Bm | F#m |              | C | Bm | D |
You can almost make out            the shape of a mouth
               | C | D | Bm | Em |         | D       | C |
In the billowing clouds,      where the lost island is found


VERSE:
Child on my lap, taking a nap
Knowing that nothing can ever be stolen
And you paint the jug, paint it with love
As if you were the one girl who needed reminding


CHORUS:

C   x32010    D   xx0232

F#m 244222

                  | C | Bm | F#m |              | C | Bm | D |
You can almost make out            the shape of a mouth
                | C | D | Bm | Em |           | D         | C |
Where the rocks begin,         that's where the lost island is


BRIDGE:
| Em | D | Bm       | Em | D  | Bm |
  Oh,  I   wonder why some wait for the signs
         | C | % | Bm | % |
But you'll always  be my girl

| Em | D    | Bm      | Em  | D      | Bm |
  Sun  diving off, like birds from the rocks
       | C | % | Bm | % |
You will always  be my girl

              | C | D | Bm    | Em                | Bm   | C |
The contours of earth      that promise you one day I'll return
