[Opening]
[Am] [F] [C] [Dm]
Yeah this place [Am]is wall to wall, can’t barely move, [F]takes fifteen minutes just to get a drink
[C]It’s crazy here, this crowd tonight’s [Dm]so loud in here you can hardly think
[Am]But everything’s fading babe, ’cause [F]you’re all I see
It’s like we’re [C]alone in here [Dm]baby

[chorus]
We might as well be on [Am]an island, we might as well be on [F]the moon
The way you’re looking at [C]me baby, can’t take my eyes [Dm]off you
Feels like the world is [Am]disappearing every time [F]we touch
We’re so caught up in [C]each other, it’s just the two [Dm]of us
We might as well be on [Am]an island, [F]we might as well be on [C]an island [Dm]

[verse 2]
It’s just [Am]me and you, back corner booth, we’re [F]sitting on the same seat
Got my [C]hands all over you and, yeah [Dm]girl, you’re all over me
Like [Am]nobody’s watching us [F]baby, let them all see
[C]Still that ain’t stopping us baby [Dm]

[chorus]
We might as well be on [Am]an island, we might as well be on [F]the moon
The way you’re looking at [C]me baby, can’t take my eyes [Dm]off you
Feels like the world is [Am]disappearing every time [F]we touch
We’re so caught up in [C]each other, it’s just the two [Dm]of us
We might as well be on an [F]island, [C]we might as well be on [Dm]an island

[Closing]
Like we’re [F]the last two on this Earth
Like [C]we’re frozen here in time, like [Dm]it’s empty here tonight

[chorus]
We might as well be on [Am]an island, we might as well be on [F]the moon
The way you’re looking at [C]me baby, can’t take my eyes [Dm]off you
Feels like the world is [Am]disappearing every time [F]we touch
We’re so caught up in [C]each other, it’s just the two [Dm]of us
We might as well be on [Am]an island, [F]we might as well be on [C]an island [Dm]

[outro]
[Am] [F] [C] [Dm]
