[Intro 1]
[D][G][Am][C][G][Am]
[C][G][Am][C][G][Am]
[C][G]
Hello, [Am]it’s been a while

[Verse 1]
[C]
[G]
You know, I [Am]wished [C]ya well[G]
I wrote a [Am]song [C]for you[G]
So break the chains an[Am]d damn
[C]the cell[G]
You wrote,
“LOVE…Love is [Am]everywhere!”
[C]In the notebook you [G]gave me
You made a list [Am]of joys for me
[C]You put your name fir[G]st
[D][Em]

[Verse 2]
[G][D]
[Em]How [G]is n[D]o [Em]man an[D] island?

[Verse 3]
What with [G]Califor[Em] nia
[C]Sliding [Am]off the chart
[G]Pack your suitcase up[Em]
[C]Make a bra[Am]nd new sta[G]rt
[Em]
[C]California’s sliding [Am]off the map
[G]Hurry now. Can you mak[Em]e it home?
[C]Can you mak[Am]e it [C]back?
[Am]If nothing’s built to last
[D]Why don’t you
Just put me out on [G]Alcatraz?
[Am][C][G][Am][C]

[Verse 4]
[G]
I’ve been accused a [Am]time
[C]or two[G]
Of having sentimental [Am]attributes
[C]Of hanging on [G]too long
When nostalgia [Am]is a vice
[C]It captures a [G]warm place in time
And like a cool fog [Am]rolling in,
Clouding [C]up,
the heart and mind
[G][D][Em][G][D]

[Verse 5]
[Em][G]
[D]Well no [Em]man’s an island[D]
What with [G]Califor

[Verse 6]
[Em]nia
[C]Sliding [Am]off the chart
[G]Pack your suitcase up[Em]
[C]Make a bra[G]nd new sta[Am]rt[G]
[Em]
[C]California’s sliding off [Am]the map
[G]Hurry now. Can you make it [Em]home?
[C]Can you mak[Am]e it [C]back?
[G]If [Am]nothing’s built to last?
[D]Why don’t you
Just put me out on [G]Alcatraz?
[Am][C][G][Am][C][G]

[Verse 7]
[G]
And every tear [Am]in your past
The reser[C]voir [G]you blink away
Washing down all the [Am]hilly streets
Out [C]in to [G]the bay
No man is [Am]an island
[C]But each one does his [G]time
To see if he can [Am]tough it out
In a [C]prison of [G]the mind
And like a note to a [Am]lover
Through the [C]blue lines you [G]can see
A chance to stay a [Am]prisoner
Or an [C]easy way to break yourself [G]free

[Verse 8]
[G]Oh [Em]Calif[C]ornia’s sliding off [Am]the chart
[G]Pack your suitcase up[Em]
[C]Baby open [Am]up your [G]heart
[Em]
[C]California’s sliding [Am]off the map
[G]Hurry now. Can you make it [Em]home?
[C]Can you mak[Am]e it [C]back?
[G]If [Am]nothing’s built to la[C]st[Am]
[D]Why [D]don’t you
[G]Just put me out on Alcatraz?
