verse 1 

D            Gm               D 
I'm left and right and in between 
D            Gm           D 
I am laying low on the ceiling 
N.C.       Am           G                  D 
A floating stone in the sea of things I've seen 
N.C.       Am                 G                 D 
Running somewhere while this city runs through me 

 
Am        G            D 
I don't believe in misery 
Am        G                      D 
I don't believe there are two of me 
Am            G 
Islands of myself 
D 
Islands of myself 
Am            G 
Islands of myself 
N.C.             D 
Can you help me? 

verse 2 
D             Gm                D 
I'm right and wrong; reluctant king 
D           Gm         D 
I'm working on reconciling 
N.C.    Am               G             D 
All the brothers that reside inside of me 
N.C.     Am                    G               D 
Dreaming sleepless while this city dreams of peace 
N.C.     Am                    G               D 
Dreaming sleepless while this city dreams of peace 

 
Am        G            D 
I don't believe in misery 
Am         G                D 
I don't believe that you're near 
Am            G 
Islands of myself 
D 
Islands of myself 
Am            G 
Islands of myself 
N.C.             D 
Can you help me?
