Islands by Sara Bareilles
Album: The Blessed Unrest
Track 11
[2013]

This was Roulie's work. She had the song in half step down tuning but had recommendations for standard tuning,
so I wanted to make a separate tab for those who didn't want to have to remember which standard chords
correlated with which half-step-down chords. 

Let me know if something doesn't make sense, I went through this quickly!

Capo 6th fret

[Intro]                     x 2

 Waiting for the bus stop
 Waiting for the concrete black top to settle down
 Long enough for me to get off and get a little ground

 I'm ready for the sea change
 Helpless felt this coming from a mile away
 And now you're looking at me babe, and how we'll separate if we can
 Cause I still count on one hand the number of good men I know

 It's like I'm standing on the edge with just a telephone wire
 Trying to get to you first to say the world's on fire
 Holding my breath until I know you're alright
 Because the water will only rise

 When will you realize
 You must become an island
 You must become an island
 You must become an island
 And see for yourself that that's what I am

               x 2

 You always dirty up the windows
 If you keep 'em at bay that way 
 No one's gonna surprise you by getting too close
 Anybody but me though
 You've made exceptions to your rules
 And now we're staring down truth neither one of us wants to know

 It's like I'm standing on the edge with just a telephone wire
 Trying to get to you first to say the world's on fire
 Holding my breath until I know you're alright
 Because the water will only rise

 When will you realize
 You must become an island
 You must become an island
 You must become an island
 And see for yourself the horizon is all we have
 And see for yourself the horizon is all we have

 Holding my breath until I know you're alright
 Because the water will only rise
