Biography:
Future Islands is a new wave band based in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. The band is composed of Gerrit Welmers (keyboards and programming), William Cashion (bass, acoustic and electric guitars), Samuel T. Herring (lyrics and vocals) and Michael Lowry (percussion, since 2020). Future Islands' music style has been tagged as synthpop, but the band has routinely rejected that classification, considering themselves as post-wave,by combining the romanticism of new wave with the power and drive of post-punk.

The song is basically just C Dm Am7 C F through out the whole song.
It's pretty simple
C Dm
And you can clean around the wound
Am7
but if you want it to heal
C F
it just takes time
C Dm
and you can go up to the moon
Am7
but if you want something to change
C F
you gotta change your life
C Dm
and take your time
Am7 C F
it just takes time
C Dm
it just takes time
Am7
it just takes time
C F
hard work and your time
C Dm
and the sun will leave your room
Am7
and leave you to the night
C F
and that's alright
C Dm
because before the morning comes
Am7
there's a certain calm
C F
and then there's light
C Dm
it just takes time
Am7
it just takes time
C F
a little trust and your time
C Dm
you can change your life
Am7
it just takes time
C F
a little trust and your time
C Dm
and i can sit and talk
Am7
'couse i was just like you
C F
so arrogant and brave
C
impetuous and blue
Dm
but trust me as a friend
Am7
and i'll do all that i can do
C F
and i'd do anything for you
C Dm
because i want to see you through
Am7
it just takes time
C F
hard work and your time
C Dm
you can change your life
Am7
it just takes time
C F
a little trust and your time
C
a little trust and your time
Dm
a little trust and your time
Am7
it just takes time
C F
it just takes time
C
hard work and your time
