Am7                                  C           C/F
Messages from broken bottles fall on black sandy beaches
Am7                                      C       C/F
Ink in vain across the page now run from morning dew
Am7                                                     C
Hands which chance upon it lead to eyes which strain to read
C/F                                  C4
Heart which pound from love long overdue
Am7                                  C     C/F
Lips which press together, stifle rhythmic heavy breathes
           Dm                                 C      A#
Oh, how she cries from vicarious love from the one he writes about
    Dm                         C      A#
She must have been so glad for him to throw it out
        Am7                              C
Further steps lead to yet another broken bottle
C/F
Again the words contained have bled the page
      Am7                                C
Whose tears were these which ran the ink
     C/F
From who they'd pour to make this streak?
          Am7                                                               C
Were they his by chance from telling her or hers by chance from reading it?
     C/F
they could have been collective
     C/F
they could have been from someone else
Am7
    Why don't we see whats at the bottom?
C                C/F
    Why don't we see what comes next
            Dm                                 C      A#
Oh, how she cries from vicarious pain from the one he writes about
    Dm                        C      A#
she must have been so sad for him to throw her out
               F           Am7
Let's just say she, she is better
Dm        C    A#
Better off somehow
               F            Am7
Let's just say she, she has never been
Dm     C            A#
Happier than she is now
            Gm
We couldn't fake it so why even try?
               F           Am7
Let's just say she, she is better
Dm        C    A#
Better off somehow
               F            Am7
Let's just say she, she has never been
Dm     C            A#
Happier than she is now
               F           Am7
Let's just say she, she is better
Dm        C    A#
Better off somehow
               F            Am7
Let's just say she, she has never been
Dm     C            A#
Happier than she is now
