[Verse]
C D
I remember it like yesterday
Em7
From in the back of my mind
C D
I was awakened from a dream
Em7 C
And given a sign
D
Sailed out following the stars
Em7 C
'Til I was all but lost
D
But when I came ashore, knew I had to stay
Em7 C
No matter the cost
[Pre-Chorus]
D
Saw the streams flowing
Em7 C
By the light of the moon
D
I saw the truth in my reflection
Em7 C
In a blue lagoon
[Chorus]
D
I'll get back to the island
Em7 C
If I can find my way
My worries and my fears
D
The pain and the tears
Em7 C
Drift away
D
Gotta get back to the island
Em7 C
Just to know it's real
Out past the horizon
D Em7
Skies every shade of the color wheel
[Verse]
C D
Sunrise that morning
Em7 C
I felt an ocean breeze
D
And the sound of the rain drops
Em7 C
Put my mind at ease
D
Bathed in a waterfall
Em7 C
Ate fruit from the trees
D
Climbed to the top of the mountain
Em7 C
So that I could see
[Pre-Chorus]
D
A tidal wave coming
Em7 C
I knew my time was through
D
I knew I'd find my way back
Em7 C
Eventually to make a dream come true
D
I'll get back to the island
Em7 C
If I can find my way
D
My worries and my fears
The pain and the tears
Em7 C
Drift away
D
Gotta get back to the island
Em7 C
Just to know it's real
Out past the horizon
D Em7 C
Skies every shade of the color wheel
[Bridge]
(WALKUP TO DIFFERENT KEY)
[Chorus]
D E
I'll get back to the island
A D
If I can find my way
My worries and my fears
E
The pain and the tears
A D
Drift away
E
Gotta get back to the island
A D
Just to know it's real
Out past the horizon
E A D
Skies every shade of the color wheel
I'll get back to the island
E A D
If I can find my way
My worries and my fears
E
The pain and the tears
A
Drift away
Gotta get back to the island
Just to know it's real
N.C.
Out past the horizon
Skies every shade of the color wheel
