A7      D                    Bm                     Bm7 
Now the day is gone and I sit alone and think of you girl           
           Em7        G          D
What can I do without you in my life?  
Bm               Bm+              Bm7               E               
I guess that our guessing game just had to end that way
    G              A7      G       A7       D
The hardest one to lose of all the games we played  
A7      D                   Bm                Bm7 
But the time has passed for living in a dream world 
    G         Em7                     D
And lying to myself, can't make that scene  
Bm                  Bm+              Bm7             E               
Of wondering if you love me, or just making a fool of me  
G                 A7               G         A7            D
Well I hope you understand, I just had to go back to the island,
                  G                          D                  
And watch the sun go down, hear the sea roll in                        
             A7                                    D
But I'll be thinking of you and how it might have been   
                   G                         D 
Hear the nightbird cry and watch the sunset down  
G               A7              G           A7          D
Well I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island. 
 Bm               D          G             D 
For all the sunny skies it's raining in my heart  
Bm                G                     D 
I know down in my soul I'm really gonna miss you 
      Bm               D        G                D 
But it had to end this way with all the games we played
G                    A7            G        A7            D
Well I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island 
                     G                      D                  
And watch the sun go down, hear the sea roll in                        
             A7                                   D
But I'll be thinking of you and how it might have been   
                   G                        D 
Hear the nightbird cry and watch the sunset down  
G                  A7             G          A7         D
Well I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island.
