Tom : F#m
F#m
You think you're pretty special don't you?
Handsome face and fairly cultured
A
The devil in the dark
F#m
When we talk I'm reminded why
I thought it'd be you to take me high
A
You were an angel in the night
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm F#m
But when I die
A
Oh when I die
E
Don't waste your flowers on me
[Verse 2]
F#m
And you found yourself another man
Well that's okay, I understand
A
I didn't want you anyway
F#m
When I get high I still see you there
With your pretty face and your cultured stare
A
Oh and then you just fade away
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm
Oh when I die
A
Oh when I die
E
Don't waste your flowers on me
F#m
Oh when I go
A
Don't let me go
E D
Put your arms around me, yeah
[Chorus]
Bm A E
'Cause I don't want to be an island
Bm A E
But you fuel the silence
F#m
It was you all dark and alone
A
You question why we bothered at all
Bm A E
Because I don't want to be an island
[Bridge]
D A E
I forget where was and for a moment I was lost
D A E D
Oh I forget where I was and for a moment I was lost

No I don't want to be an island

No I don't want to be an island
Bm A E Bm A E
[Outro]

You think you're pretty special don't you?
Handsome face and faded culture

The devil in the dark
