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
I feel it in my bones,
Dm7/C G/B
...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
So cruel to be so kind,
Dm7/C G/B
...Now I know I'll always find...
Gm/A# A A7 Dm F A
...This island Earth a myste - ry

Dm C#aug
As I stumble through the dark,
Dm7/C G/B
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
My soul in shadows,
Gm/A# A A7 Dm F A
Running blind and restless as the sea,
Dm C#aug
Via sidewalks, through the haze,
Dm7/C G/B
...Wandering as in a maze,
Gm/A# A A7 Dm F A
Lost in number, time and space
[Verse 5]
Dm C#aug
So near and yet so far,
Dm7/C G/B
...Castaway, as strangers are,
Gm/A# A A7 Dm Dm7 Dm F A
This island Earth, and you and me
