The Police
Message in a bottle

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

A            D E7               
I'll send an SOS to the world, 
A            D E7          F#m 
I'll send an SOS to the world, 
             D               F#m
I hope that someone gets my,    
             D 
I hope that someone gets my, 
F#m          D 
I hope that someone gets my   
 C#m         Amaj7                 
message in a bottle,           
C#m          Amaj7 
message in a bottle. 
 C#m         Amaj7    
message in a bottle,           
C#m          Amaj7       F#m 
message in a bottle. 

C#m    A    B      F#m     
A year has passed  
       C#m      A       B    F#m       
since I wrote my note, 
C#m    A       B              F#m
but I should have known this      
         C#m    A       B    F#m 
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 
love can mend your life,     
   C#m        A         B     F#m 
but love can break your heart. 

Chorus 

C#m     A   B     F#m    
Walked out this morning,
      C#m            A     B    F#m 
don't believe what I saw, 
C#m    A   B       F#m    
a hundred billion bottles, 
        C#m         A     B    F#m 
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           
a hundred billion castaways, 
 C#m     A       B    F#m
looking for a home. 

Chorus

Outro :

C#m     A      B   F#m     
Sending out an SOS,       
 C#m    A      B    F#m
Sending out an SOS.. 
Ad lib. and fade
