Lyrics and Chords


[Capo 2]

Just a castaway, an island lost at sea-o
Another lonely day, no one here but me-o
More loneliness than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair-o

/ Bm G A7 Em Bm G A7 Em / / / /

{Refrain}
I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle
Message in a bottle

/ G - C D / / Em - C - / / / Bm - G - Bm - G - / Bm - G - Em - - - /

A year has passed since I wrote my note
But I should have known this right from the start
Only hope can keep me together
Love can mend your life but love can break your heart

{Refrain}
...Message in a bottle
Message in a bottle

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

{Refrain}
...Message in a bottle
Message in a bottle

Sending out an SOS {Repeat and Fade}
