"Island Of Anger"


Capo 2

E                  D
It's a beautiful world
E              D
Filled with stupid people
E                      D
Beating each other's brains out
             E      D
Like the cavemen did
A                               
But I'm stuck right here
C
Wondering why I can't do
            E         D E D
Like the brave men did

E           D
Oh don't I know
E              D
This ain't no way to live
         E         D 
When everything I see and hear
E           D
Makes me mad
      A
And there's no silver lining
     C
The stuff that doesn't get me angry
 B
Makes me sad

Chorus 1:
E                    A
Hard to believe I'm not a kid
E                     A
Hard to believe the things I did
F#m                                B
Hard to believe the ways I hid my love
E                          A
Wondering now why I'm not free
E                       A
Wondering how I came to be
F#m                             B
An island of anger in a sea of love

     E     D
And love rules
 E           D
This much I understand
     E                D              E        D
But all the ones who live for peace die for it
A
Still somehow that message comes
     C                         B
And every day I struggle to decipher it

Chorus 1:
E                    A
Hard to believe I'm not a kid
E                     A
Hard to believe the things I did
F#m                                B
Hard to believe the ways I hid my love
E                          A
Wondering now why I'm not free
E                       A
Wondering how I came to be
F#m                             B
An island of anger in a sea of love

Refrain: 

G                
Younger by half
        C
I was quick to laugh
G                                C
Hopeful and alive to what might come
Em              
Where's my spark
A
Skies so dark
Am7            Em                 G D B
All I seem to hear is a distant drum

Guitar Solo: E  D  E  D  E  D  A  C  B

Chorus 1:
E                    A
Hard to believe I'm not a kid
E                     A
Hard to believe the things I did
F#m                                B
Hard to believe the ways I hid my love
E                  A
Wondering now why I'm not free
E                A
Wondering how I came to be
F#m                             G#m B
An island of anger in a sea of love
 
Chorus 2:
F#m                             B
Hard to believe the time's so short
F#m                          G#m
Hard to believe I'm still in port
G#m                                    Db
Dying to set a different sort of course
F#m                         B
Wondering now how I'll get free
F#m                   B
And how to become a refugee
G#m
From an island of anger
             Db  
In a sea of love
F#m E
Love
