Island of Anger Christopher Cross
Capo 2
[E]It's a beautiful wo[D]rld
[E]Filled with stu[D]pid people
[E]Beating each other's br[D]ains out
Like the cave[E]men did[D]
[A]But I'm stuck right here
[C]Wondering why I can't do
Like the bra[E]ve men did[D] [E] [D]
[E]Oh don't I k[D]now
[E]This ain't no w[D]ay to live
When ever[E]ything I s[D]ee and hear
[E]Makes me mad[D]
And th[A]ere's no silver lining
The s[C]tuff that doesn't get me angry
M[B]akes me sad
Chorus 1:
[E]Hard to believe I'm n[A]ot a kid
[E]Hard to believe the th[A]ings I did
[F#m]Hard to believe the ways I hid my l[B]ove
[E]Wondering now why I'm not f[A]ree
[E]Wondering how I came to [A]be
[F#m]An island of anger in a sea of l[B]ove
And l[E]ove ru[D]les
T[E]his much I u[D]nderstand
But a[E]ll the ones who l[D]ive for peace d[E]ie for it[D]
[A]Still somehow that message comes
And e[C]very day I struggle to dec[B]ipher it
Chorus 1:
[E]Hard to believe I'm n[A]ot a kid
[E]Hard to believe the th[A]ings I did
[F#m]Hard to believe the ways I hid my l[B]ove
[E]Wondering now why I'm not f[A]ree
[E]Wondering how I came to [A]be
[F#m]An island of anger in a sea of l[B]ove
Refrain:
[G]Younger by half
I was qu[C]ick to laugh
[G]Hopeful and alive to what might c[C]ome
[Em]Where's my spark
[A]Skies so dark
[Am7]All I seem to h[Em]ear is a distant dr[G]um[D] [B]

Chorus 1:
[E]Hard to believe I'm n[A]ot a kid
[E]Hard to believe the th[A]ings I did
[F#m]Hard to believe the ways I hid my l[B]ove
[E]Wondering now why I[A]'m not free
[E]Wondering how I c[A]ame to be
[F#m]An island of anger in a sea of l[G#m]ove[B]
Chorus 2:
[F#m]Hard to believe the time's so sh[B]ort
[F#m]Hard to believe I'm still in [G#m]port
[G#m]Dying to set a different sort of course[Db]
[F#m]Wondering now how I'll get f[B]ree
[F#m]And how to become a re[B]fugee
[G#m]From an island of anger
In a sea of l[Db]ove
[F#m]Love[E]
