[Verse 1]

F G                                                      
Labels warning to use with permission
F G                                                     
Look inside of me: conflicts, conditions
 F                                                      
Don't lose sight of the lessons you're given
 F                                    G                 
No sign or prescription can make you young again
G        F G
Make me young again


[Verse 2]

F G                                                   
All looks well if you just know the outside
F G                                                 
Hide the tears that get she'd in the nighttime
 F                                                    
Don't lose sight of the map and the seasons
 F                                    G                 
Let go of conditions that steal your mind away
G           F G
Steal your time away


[Chorus]

 C                                                      
Living on an island
 C                                                    
Take your time when
 C                                                    
Walking on the water
  C                              F G                         
'Cause now we're running from our homes

[Verse 3]

F G                                                     
One side of me knows where the path went
F G                                                      
I could lead but I'm too inconsistent
 F                                                    
Don't lose sight of the eyes that you're given
 F                                      G               
No conflicts, conditions can take your sight away
         F G  
Take your sight away


[Chorus]

 C                                                    
Living on an island
 C                                                    
Take your time when
 C                                                     
Walking on the water
                                   F G                   
'Cause now we're running from our homes
                                                      
 F G  


[Chorus]

 C                                                    
Living on an island
 C                                                    
Take your time when
 C                                                     
Walking on the water
                                   F G                   
'Cause now we're running from our homes


[Post-Chorus]

            F                C           G              
You were drowning when you should have flown
            F                C           G              
You were drowning when you should have flown
            F            C        G                      
I've been dying when I should be born
G                F C G                                               
I should be born

[Verse 4]

F G                                                      
If you struggle in logic and feeling
F G                                                     
Generational gaps are revealing
 F                                                    
Don't lose sight of the ones who have loved you
 F                                       G             
You're only as strong as the love that built you
             F G
the love that built you

'Cause now we're running from our homes


[Outro]

            F                C           G              
You were drowning when you should have flown
            F                C           G              
You were drowning when you should have flown
