Verse:
Gb                          B              Gb
Time goes so fast, and sometimes so does life
Gb                        B              Gb
I’d let you go but my darling you fit right
              Abm
And I’m in love
Abm                                Gb
I hope I cross your path another time
 

Gb                          B         Gb
I took a chance, and it left me paralysed
Gb                          B            Gb
a year without you was as lethal as a knife
              Abm
And I’m terrified
Abm                                Gb
I’m back to being me without a bride
 
Chorus:
Abm                   Gb B Gb
Isla, Isla wait for me
Abm                         Gb B Gb
Isla, please don’t forget me

Gb                          B              Gb
When I returned I could barely sleep at night
Gb                          B        Gb
An empty bed and a tear drop in my eye
            Abm
Later that day
Abm                                    Gb B Gb
The kerosene would meet the naked flames
 

Gb                       B                 Gb
I tried my luck, and I took you to one side
Gb                              B              Gb
Confessed my love and how it aLmost cost my life
              Abm
I’d give it all
Abm                                     Gb B Gb
For just another late night on the grove

At your altar, I can't hold my peace

             Abm                               Gb  B Gb
Above the marque, his contrails aligned for you
            Ebm                               Gb  B Gb
He is watching, he follows in your magpie army
        Abm                                            Gb  B Gb
Over railroads, I can’t help but raise both of my feet

At your altar, I sure hope its me
