Reese Lansangan - Islands

      [Verse 1]
          F    G
Don't you come back
            Am
Here asking me why
           F
I've spent nights
G                 Am
Bleeding myself dry

    F
I'm fighting beasts
     G                     Am
I'm climbing trees and towers
    F                  G
I'm whole alive and breathing
                 Am
That's what matters

[Chorus]
          F
I want to hold you
                     G
But my body's moving away
              Am
Gotta let you go, oh
           F
But when I do my mind just keeps on
          G
Finding a way to you, again
        Am
Self-control won't help me so
                      F     G    Am
Don't come running back, back, back
Am
If you don't mean to stay
                             F    G     Am
Just stay away don't come back, back, back

[Verse 2]
      F      G
Empty hands, knees to the ground
                  Am
Better watch me pray
             F       G        Am
That I won't give my honesty away

              F
'Cause when I say "be gone"
        G                 Am
My stubborn tongue is faking
   F                     G
My heart won't echo sounds
              Am
My mouth is making

[Chorus]
          F
I want to hold you
                     G
But my body's moving away
              Am
Gotta let you go, oh
           F
But when I do my mind just keeps on
          G
Finding a way to you, again
        Am
Self-control won't help me so
                      F     G    Am
Don't come running back, back, back
Am
If you don't mean to stay
                             F    G     Am
Just stay away don't come back, back, back

[Bridge]
           F
Saying goodbye to the islands that we named
       G
Oh the ocean is calling my name
Am
Bye to the earth that we have claimed
Am
Oh the ocean is calling my name

[Verse 3]
          F    G
Don't you come back
            Am
Here asking me why
           F

G                 Am
Bleeding myself dry
