verse 1 
******** 
D                 Bm 
Islands, from the first time we saw 
         G                          D 
We could wait for this moment, like rocks on the shore 
                Bm 
We can never be closer, somehow 
        G                     D 
For the moment that lasts, is this moment now

BRIDGE 
******* 
         D          G              A                    D 
When the night's on fire, will you keep the candlelight burning 
                G       A 
Hold on to your heart's desire, (When the night's on fire) 
         D       G             A                   D 
When you see one bird into the wind, another one's turning 
                G        A 
And the two can fly much higher 


       D 
We are islands but never too far\ 
       Em                        \ 
We are islands                    \ 
      A                            X2 
And I need your light tonight     / 
      D                          / 
And I need your light tonight   /   


verse 2 
******** 
D              Bm 
Islands, never been to before 
       G                          D 
And we climb so high to where the wild birds soar 
                           Bm 
There's a new path that we found just today 
      G                          D 
I was lost in the forest and you showed me the way

         D       G             A                   D
