"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

Wondering how I came to be
F#m B
An island of anger in a sea of love
Refrain:
G
Younger by half

I was quick to laugh

Hopeful and alive to what might come

Where's my spark

Skies so dark

All I seem to hear is a distant drum

And how to become a refugee

From an island of anger
