verse 1 
        F#m              E 
One by one; they pass me by 
      F#m              E 
And I've used up my supplies 
        Bm            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 
A traveller in ocean; lost at sea 


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

Oh, I can't live without you 


verse 2 
          F#m               E 
Sun comes up then, sun goes down 
        F#m             E 
Wonder if I'll ever be found 
F#m 
Here I am alone in silence 
E 
Cast away on a desert island 
  Bm                         D 
A traveller in ocean; lost at sea 


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

Oh, I can't live without you
