    Just a castaway, on an island lost at sea, 
          D        A           Em        D      A Em    
    another lonely day, with no one here but me.

    rescue me before I fall into despair.

    A year has passed since I wrote my note, 
         D              A            Em              D   A   Em 
    but I should have known this right from the start.

    a hundred billion bottles, washed up on the shore.

    Seems I'm not alone at being alone,
