Just a castaway                                  (embarque)
An island lost at sea oh
Another lonely day
With no one here but me oh

More loneliness
Than any man could bear
Rescue me before
I fall into despair oh

  A            D   E
  I'll send an S.O.S. to the world  x 2

  C♯2          A2            F♯m
  Message in a bottle, yeah

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  x 4)

F♯m

Walked out this morning
Don't believe what I saw
Hundred billion bottles
Washed up on the shore

Seems I'm not alone
At being alone
Hundred billion castaways
Looking for a home

  Refrain  (Message in a bottle  x 4)

C♯2  A2  B2  F♯2  x 4

Sending out an S.O.S.  x N
