Lyrics

[Intro]
G         G
 I was an island

[Verse 1]
                     Em
Before you came along
         C
Put your boat in my sand
Your hand in my hand
     D
Your heart in my songs
        G
I was a fighter
            Em
And I was so  brave
      C
But I lowered my sword
When you held me and swore
      D
You'd stay, stay, stay, oh

[Chorus]
C       D        G    D/F# Em
I can't do this alone anymore
      C      D          G   D/F# Em
Cause I'm no good on my own anymore
C                  D
What did I do to deserve this?
G            D/F#   Em
What did you do  to me?
C
Baby, come back
    D                       G
You know I don't want to be free

[Verse 2]
        G                  Em
I was a rebel, but I had a cause
     C
'Til you came to town
Pushed me around
    D
And showed me what love was
        G
I was a wolf, dear
               Em
Apart from the pack
        C
But you answered my cry
In the dead of the night
    D
And told me that you had my back, oh

[Chorus]
C       D        G    D/F# Em
I can't do this alone anymore
      C      D          G   D/F# Em
Cause I'm no good on my own anymore
C                  D
What did I do to deserve this?
G            D/F#   Em
What did you do  to me?
C
Baby, come back
    D                       G
You know I don't want to be free

Cause I'm no good on my own anymore
C                  D
What did I do to deserve this?

Baby, come back

You know I don't want to be free, oh

You know I don't want to be free
No, No, No
C
Baby come back
    D                       G
You know I don't want to be free
