[Intro]
G G
[Verse]
G C G
A winter's day, in a deep and dark December;
Am D C G
I am alone,
Am7 Bm7 Am7 Bm7
Gazing from my window to the streets below
Am C D
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
[Chorus]
C G C D G - Em
I am a rock, I am an i___sland.
[Verse]
G C G
I've built walls, a fortress deep and mighty,
Am D C G
That none may penetrate.
Am7 Bm7 Am7 Bm7
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
Am C D
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
[Repeat Chorus]
[Verse]
G C G
Don't talk of love, but I've heard the words before;
Am D C G
It's sleeping in my memory.
Am7 Bm7 Am7 Bm7
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
Am C D
If I never loved I never would have cried.
[Repeat Chorus]
[Verse]
G C G
I have my books and my poetry to protect me;
Am D C G
I am shielded in my armor,
Am7 Bm7 Am7 Bm7
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
Am C D
I touch no one and no one touches me.
[Repeat Chorus]
[Outro]
Am D G
And a rock feels no pain;
Am D G
And an island never cries.
