The strumming is pretty easy to pick up from the song and there are only a couple strum patterns
throughout. There is a nice little instrumental solo in the middle and she did an
version
on what I think was her first youtube video of this song. It is basically just a few
using
the chord shapes themselves. Look it up on youtube, it should be the first result if
seach for
this song. It is a nice addition to a easy, pretty song. Enjoy -TD
I was an island before you came along
but your boat in my sand hand in my hand heart in my songs
I was a fighter and I was so brave
but I lowered my sword and you held me and swore you'd stay stay stay
oh I can't do this alone anymore
cause I'm no good on my own anymore
what did I do to deserve this what did you do to me
baby come back you know I don't want to be free
I was a rebel but I had a cause
'til you came to town pushed me around and showed me what love was
I was a wolf dear apart from the pack
but you answered my cry in the dead of the night told me that you had my back
oh I can't do this alone anymore
cause I'm no good on my own anymore
what did I do to deserve this what did you do to me
baby come back you know I don't want to be free
oh I can't do this alone anymore
cause I'm no good on my own anymore
what did I do to deserve this what did you do to me
baby come back you know I don't want to be free
baby come back you know I don't want to be free no no no
baby come back you know I don't want to be free
