I bless the day
D G
that you were born
G C/G
The stars came up
D G
and the heavens were torn
G C/G
Apart to make way for your
D G
Ragged little soul
G C/G
Unlike many other thing
D G
You had a purpose and a goal

G C/G
This café is my island

And the city my sea

You will be my mermaid

And the castaway that’s me

D G
But that’s what she said to me
G C/G
Oh I could make a hymnbook
D G
Out of all the things she does
G C/G
From looking like a movie-star

To reading on the bus

This café is my island
D G
And the city my sea

You will be my mermaid

I would like to be cynic
D \ G \
But without you I’d be dead

I would set myself on fire
D \ G \
Just to light you cigarette
G \ C/G \
And if you want to hold my hand
D \ G \
Every day and night
G \ C/G \
I would gladly chop it off
D \ G \
You can keep it if you like

This café is my island
