Bm  G  

[Verse 1]
D
  We're all lookin' for a message here
F#m
  A little wisdom on a souvenir
Bm
  Another bottle with an S.O.S
G
Throw it in the water and pray for the best
D
  There ain't a compass or a northern star
F#m
  That ever really tells us where we are
Bm
  We're just a shore runnin' out of sand
    G
And reachin' for a hand


[Chorus]
                    D
Every heart is an island
              F#m
But no one's alone
                  Bm
Ship wrecked in a high wind
          G
Tryin' to find our way home
                     D
And every tear is an ocean
          F#m
We're all brothers in a storm
                        Bm
And we're tryin' to survive it
             G
Lookin' for dry land
                  D      D/C#  Bm G
Every heart is an island


[Verse 2]
D
  Silver linin's kinda hard to find
         F#m
When the     world stops at the horizon line
       Bm
There ain't a harbor that you'll recognize
     G
It's hard to make a wish in an empty sky
D
  Boardwalks are just nails and wood
         F#m
They're pretty in a picture when times are good
Bm
   Cars and boats are just on loan
  G
A house is just sticks and stones


[Chorus]
                       D
But every heart is an island
               F#m
But no one's alone
                  Bm
Ship wrecked in a high wind
         G
Tryin' to find our way home
                       D
And every tear is an ocean
          F#m
We're all brothers in a storm
                       Bm
And we're tryin' to survive it
            G
Lookin' for dry land
                  D
Every heart is an island
