[Verse 1]
Bm                                  Bdim
 You pick me up with a smile for my weakness
Bsus4      B             G#dim      A
 I'm bittersweet but you care about me
Bm                                     Bdim
 You found me lost in the chaos and confusion
Bsus4          B             G#dim     A
 You said it's possible that we can be free
Bm                             D/A
 You take my hand and then you sweep me
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
           Daug/A#          Bm
Oh, let me move you (Off my feet)
            A/C#
Come to the island
D            Daug     Bm
Where we can save our souls
     A/C#
It's just the right size
 
 
[Chorus]
D/A             Daug/A#
 The world is beyond us
Bm         A/C#
 It's too enormous
D            Daug      G
 But oh, the island is just right
         A
It's the perfect size

[Verse 2]
Bm                                  Bdim
 You pick me up with the promise of love
    Bsus4        B           G#dim     A
Our names on the door at the island of real
Bm                                  Bdim
 You havе a way of being gentle and tough
Bsus4     B             G#dim          A
 In еvery sense I think you know how I feel
Bm                                       Bdim
'Cause I'm afraid of things I don't understand
Bsus4      B             D/A
 And now I need a little hope
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
           Daug/A#                          Bm
Oh, let me move you (The cities covered in smoke)
            A/C#
Come to the island (The whole system's broke)
D             Daug/A#  Bm
 Where we can save our souls
     A/C#
It's just the right size (For me)
 
 
[Chorus]
D/A             Daug/A#
 The world is beyond us (Let's not get into a fight)
Bm         A/C#
 It's too enormous (Irene Goodnight)
D            Daug/F#   G
 But oh, the island is just right
         A
It's the perfect size
G
Just right
         A
It's the perfect size (For me)

Bm         A/C#
 It's too enormous (Fell under the wheel)
D            Daug/F#   G
 But oh, the island is just right
         A                 G
It's the perfect size (For me)
         A
It's the perfect size

Good tab - that opening sequence of B-variations is tough to manage. Is there any easier way to play it?
