Easy  when you're number one
 Everybody  say you're having fun
Smiling  for the public eye
 When your body  say you wanna die
Living  on an island
Looking  at another line
Waiting  for my friend to come
 And we'll get high
Hugh  he got a real nice place
Cruxie  gonna be there soon
 And I  just want to see his face
 I'm getting lonely  in my empty room
Living  on an island
Working  at another line
Waiting  for my friend to come
 And we'll get high
Passing  time away in blue  skies
Thinking  of the smile in her  eyes
Easy,  it's easy
Living  on an island
Oh  boy, we're having fun
Living  on an island
Thinking  'bout the things I've done
Living  on an island
Searching  for an other line
Waiting  for my friend to come
 And we'll get high
Waiting  for my friend to come
And  we'll get high
 I said we're gonna get high
 Yeah, we're gonna get high
We're  gonna touch the sky
 ||  ||  ||  ||  to fade...
 Live, they tend to end with a Dm6 I think.
 Something like that.
 I would play the Amadd11 thusly: 557555
