A                     Em
I don't have silver, I don’t have gold
      D
But everything I have, I offer you to hold
             A
I am not the strongest
        Em
Or the wisest man
           D
And yet I stand before you still

Do with me what you will
  Bm
I know it's taking time
      D
I can finally look you in the eyes and say that


[Chorus]
A
I am not an island
E
I am not a fortress
Bm7                       D
I am not an anchor in the seas
A                                    E
I'm a man, out here in the darkness walking
      Bm                       E       D
And I need you out here walking beside me


[Verse 2]
              A             Em
You showed me mercy, undeserved
           D
You have tended to our love, like a gardener with the earth
             A                        Em
You showed me patience and brought me ease
         D
You have opened up my eyes and taught me how to see
              Bm7
That I was a stubborn prideful man
        D
But you have made me understand that


[Chorus]
A
I am not an island
E
I am not a fortress
Bm7                       D
I am not an anchor in the seas
            A                              E
I’m just a man, out here in the darkness walking
       Bm7                             D
And I need you out here walking beside me


[Bridge]
     Bm7
And I know it won't be easy
     A                        C#m
And I know that my jokes are cheesy
       D
But my love for you is real
              A
And so much deeper than a feeling
      Bm7
And I'm ready for the road
       C#m              A
I can take your heavy load
      D
Over mountains high and valleys deep
       Am                A
I can sing us both to sleep
    F#m     Bm7
But if I start to lose myself
        D
You can dance me back to health

And tell me

[Chorus]
A
I am not an island
E
I am not a fortress
Bm7          Bm             D
I am not an anchor in the seas
     A                                  E
I'm a man, out here in the darkness walking
     Bm7                 Bm        D
And I need you out here walking beside me
