       F#m                E
One by one; they pass me by
         Bm              E
And I've used up my supplies
        F#m           E
Out of water; Out of hope
            Bm          E
Can't make fire; Only smoke
F#m
Here I am alone in silence
 E
Cast away on a desert island
   Bm                          D E
A traveller in ocean; lost at sea

Chorus:
A
Smoke signals in the night sky
Hope you see me as you pass by
E
I'm screaming from the cliff top
You're the only one I've got to rescue me,
Bm
to rescue me
Why can't you see? Why can't you see?
                            D
I don't think that I'll survive
                         E
I'll die here without you
Oh, I can't live without you

The sun comes up
The sun goes down
Wonder if I'll
Ever be found?
Here I am alone in silence
Cast away on a desert island
A traveller in an ocean lost at sea

Chorus - X2
