Message in a Bottle
  Em           D       A             Em       D     A-Em
1.    Just a castaway, on an island lost at sea,

                  D        A           Em        D         A-Em

    another lonely day, with no one here but me.

              D       A             Em   D             A-Em

    More loneliness, than any man could bear,

                D        A     Em    D        A-Em

    rescue me before I fall into despair.

G                    C-D              G                         C-D              G

    I'll send an SOS to the world,  I'll send an SOS to the world,

                  Em                         G                  Em

I hope that someone gets my,    I hope that someone gets my,

G                   Em

    I hope that someone gets my

2.  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.

      D      A           Em    D       A Em

    Only hope can keep me together,

                     D             A          Em            D               A-Em

    love can mend your life, but love can break your heart. + CHORUS

3. Walked out this morning, don't believe what I saw,

                      D        A          Em             D          A   - Em

    a hundred billion bottles, washed up on the shore.

                      D      A         Em        D-A-Em

    Seems I'm not alone at being alone,

                      D        A     Em                 D       A Em

    a hundred billion castaways, looking for a home. + CHORUS

    Em         C        D Em                C       D Em
