Cause you got a heart so big
It could crush this town
Gm Dm
And I can't hold out forever
C F
Even walls fall down
And all 'round your island
There's a barricade
It keeps out the danger
The holes and the pain.
And sometimes you're happy
And sometimes you cry
Half of me is ocean=20
Half of me is sky.

And some things are over
And some things go on
And part of me you carry
And part of me is gone
