[Verse 1]
Dm               C#aug   Dm7/C        G/B
    So I send an S.O.S.,       sema - phore myself,
Gm/A#             A        A7    Dm     F A
       Catch me falling, final - ly,
Dm                          C#aug
       Through the air and underground,
Dm7/C           G/B
       Every - where this sound,
Gm/A#                A       A7        Dm     F A
       Screams and whispers, I can't breathe

[Verse 2]
   Dm          C#aug   Dm7/C                    G/B
I feel it in my bones,     ...though I know I'm not alone,
Gm/A#                  A       A7       Dm   F A
       You're spinning far too far from me,
    Dm            C#aug  Dm7/C                  G/B
So cruel to be so kind,        now I know I'll always find...
Gm/A#                 A      A7     Dm   F A
     ...This island Earth a myste - ry

[Verse 3]
Dm                C#aug           Dm7/C              G/B
    As I stumble through the dark,  ...dream lovers dream apart,
Gm/A#                  A      A7   Dm    F A
       Starry eyed a vision rushes in,
Dm               C#aug
     Do I wonder        ...or care?
Dm7/C               G/B                Gm/A#
       My spirit's bleeding, God knows where,
    A     A7     Dm  Dm7    F A
A never ending stream

[Verse 4]
   Dm             C#aug
I tried to love,        ...tried to find,
Dm7/C               G/B           Gm/A#        A     A7     Dm   F A
       My soul in shadows running blind and restless as the sea,
      Dm                  C#aug   Dm7/C              G/B
Via sidewalks, through the haze,     ...wandering as in a maze,
Gm/A#            A      A7       Dm     F A
       Lost in number, time and space

[Verse 5]
   Dm             C#aug  Dm7/C                 G/B
So near and yet so far,      ...castaway, as strangers are,
Gm/A#               A         A7     Dm Dm7 Dm   F A
      This island Earth, and you and me
