[Verse 1]
Em
You think you're pretty special don't you?
Handsome face and fairly cultured
G
The devil in the dark
Em
When we talk I'm reminded why
I thought it'd be you to take me high
G
You were an angel in the night
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Em
But when I die
G
Oh when I die
D
Don't waste your flowers on me
[Verse 2]
Em
And you found yourself another man
Well that's okay, I understand
G
I didn't want you anyway
Em
When I get high I still see you there
With your pretty face and your cultured stare
G
Oh and then you just fade away
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
Oh when I die
G
Oh when I die
D
Don't waste your flowers on me
Em
Oh when I go
G
Don't let me go
D C
Put your arms around me, yeah
[Chorus]
Am G D
'Cause I don't want to be an island
Am G D
But you fuel the silence
Em
It was you all dark and alone
G
You question why we bothered at all
Am G D
Because I don't want to be an island
[Bridge]
C G D
I forget where was and for a moment I was lost
C G D C
Oh I forget where I was and for a moment I was lost
Am G D
Am G D
Am G D
No I don't want to be an island
Am G D G
No I don't want to be an island
Am G D
Am G D
[Outro]
Em
You think you're pretty special don't you?
Handsome face and faded culture
G C
The devil in the dark
