    Just a castaway, on an island lost at sea,
C#m    A     B   F#m         C#m    A      B    F#m
    another lonely day, with no one here but me.
C#m    A     B   F#m         C#m    A      B    F#m
    More loneliness, than any man could bear,
C#m    A     B   F#m         C#m    A      B    F#m
    rescue me before I fall into despair.

A year has passed since I wrote my note,
 C#m    A  B   F#m  C#m    A      B    F#m
but I should have known this right from the start.
 C#m    A  B   F#m  C#m    A      B    F#m
Only hope can keep me together,
 C#m    A  B   F#m  C#m    A      B    F#m
love can mend your life, but love can break your heart. + CHORUS

Walked out this morning, don't believe what I saw,
 C#m    A      B     F#m   C#m    A      B    F#m
a hundred billion bottles, washed up on the shore.
 C#m    A      B     F#m   C#m    A      B    F#m
Seems I'm not alone at being alone,
C#m       A       B  F#m     C#m     A     B    F#m
a hundred billion castaways, looking for a home.
