Not sure if this is correct but here goes.

Verse one
F Am
Black flies on the windowsill

That we are

That we are

F
That we are to know
Am
Winter stole summer's thrill
F
And the river's cracked and cold

F Am
See the sky is no man's land
F
A darkened plume to stay
Am
Hope here needs a humble hand
F
Not a fox found in your place


Chorus

Am G F
And no man is an island, oh this I know
Am
But can't you see, oh?
G F
Maybe you were the ocean, when I was just a stone


Verse two

F Am
Black flies on the windowsill

That we are

That we are
F
That we are to hold
Am
Comfort came against my will
F
And every story must grow old

Am
Still I'll be a traveller
F
A gypsy's reins to face
Am
But the road is wearier
F
With that fool found in your place


Chorus x2

Am G F
And no man is an island, oh this I know
Am
But can't you see, oh?
G F
Maybe you were the ocean, when I was just a stone

F
So here we are...

Am F Am F Am F


Bridge x2

Am G
And I don't wanna beg your pardon
F
And I don't wanna ask you why

But if I was to go my own way

Would I have to pass you by?
