| C | Dm | Am | F | | C | Dm | Am | F | | C | Dm | Am | F | | C | Dm | Am | F | [Verse 1] C Dm Am F And the moon brings us back, I'm going back over to the C Dm Am F islands C Dm Am F in between your smiles there's a clue whether to scream C Dm Am F or be silent. C Dm Am F And the wind blows sad and joyful on our arrival C Dm Am F onto the island C Dm Am F and with your sense of dislocation you make the perfect travelling C Dm Am F companion. [Interlude] | F | C | G | G | [Chorus] C F C G And the world will always seem so much younger than me Am F C G when I take the boat out, C F C G a crowded world will always seem emptier to me C F Am G when I take the boat out. [Interlude] | C | Dm | Am | F | | C | Dm | Am | F | [Verse 2] C Dm Am F Suspicion fills a stranger who looks beyond C Dm Am F the horizon, C Dm Am F All the days that I've found love and left with only my feelings C Dm Am F to survive on. C Dm Am F I walk the solemn line in with the rhythm of the seas C Dm Am F around the island C Dm Am F and there are times to act and times to stand back and time to show whats C Dm Am Am needed to rely on. [Interlude] | F | F | G | G | [Chorus] C F C G And the world will always seem so much younger than me Am F C G when I take the boat out, C F C G a crowded world will always seem emptier to me C F Am G when I take the boat out. C F C G When the sea answers the island, oh, Am F C G when I take the boat out, C F C G it's emptier and silent, oh, C F Am G when I take the boat out. [Interlude] | F | F | G | G | | Am | C | Dm | Dm | F F G G How come you always seem so real defined, Am C Dm Dm you put your hand in my hand make it my design. [Outro] F C G G And we give what we have and we do what we can, Am C Dm Am put your hand in my hand. C Am G G How come you always seem so real defined, Am C Dm Dm you put your hand in my hand make it our design. G C G G And we give what we have and we do what we can, Am C Dm F put your hand in my hand. C F C G And the sea answers the island, oh, Am F C G C F C G and the sea answers the island, oh. C F Am G C
