  			- Intro: C 


- verse 1: 

         C                       Am 
I was an island, before you came along 
         F                                           G 
Put your boat in my sand, your hand in my hand, your heart in my songs 


        C                     Am 
I was a fighter, and I was so brave 
      F                                                   G 
But I lowered my sword, when you held me and swore, you'd stay stay stay  




   F       G       C     G/B Am     
Oh I can't do this alone anymore 
       F      G          C   G/B Am      
'Cause I'm no good on my own anymore 


F                G             C            G/B  Am      
what did I do to deserve this? what did you do to me? 
F                    G                       C 
Baby, come back, you know I don't want to be free 


- verse 2: 

        C                  Am 
I was a rebel, but I had a cause 
     F                                       G 
'Til you came to town, pushed me around, and showed me what love was 
        C                          Am 
I was a wolf, dear, apart from the pack 
        F                                                G 
but you answered my cries, in the dead of the night, and told me that you had my back 



   F       G       C     G/B Am      
Oh I can't do this alone anymore 
       F      G          C   G/B Am      
'Cause I'm no good on my own anymore 


F                G             C            G/B  Am      
what did I do to deserve this? what did you do to me? 
F                    G                       C 
Baby, come back, you know I don't want to be free
