I Am Rock Chords

[verse]

  C
A winter's day
     F                  C
In a deep and dark december
Am  G   F    C
  i am alone
    F                 Em
And gazing through my window
   Am            Em
To the streets below
   Am
On freshly fallen
F                 G
Silence shroud of snow

[chorus]

C
I am a rock
F         G    C Am
I am an island

[verse]

        C
I built walls
  F                 C
A fortress deep and mighty
     G        F      C
That none may penetrate
  Am               Em
I have no need for friendship
Am                Em
Friendship causes pain
     F
It's laughter
                        G
And it's love that i disdain

[chorus]

C
I am a rock
F         G    C Am
I am an island

[verse]

              C
Don't talk of love
  F                C
I heard the word before
     Am      G    F    C
It's seeping in my memory
  Am                Em
I won't disturb the slumber
   F                Em
Of feelings that'll died
     F
If i never love
                  C
And i never wanna cry

[chorus]

C
I am a rock
F         G    C Am
I am an island

[verse]

          C
I have my books
       F            C
And my poetry to protect me
    G              F     C
I'm shielded in my honor
Am           Em
Hiding in my room
Am             Em
Safe within my womb
  F
I touch no one and
               G
No one touches me

[chorus]

C
I am a rock
F         G    C Am
I am an island

[outro]

      F    G        C
And a rock feels no pain
       F      Em    C
And an island never cries
