F#m E
[VERSE 1]
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
Bm
You're the only one I've got to rescue me,
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
E
Oh, I can't live without you
[VERSE 2]
F#m E
Sun comes up then, sun goes down
Bm E
Wonder if I'll ever be found
F#m
Here I am alone in silence
E
Cast away on a desert island

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
Bm
You're the only one I've got to rescue me,
to rescue me
Why can't you see? Why can't you see?

I don't think that I'll survive

I'll die here without you

Oh, I can't live without you

to rescue me
Why can't you see? Why can't you see?
