Message In a Bottle

[Intro] G

[First Part]

   G               C
I know that you like me
                   Em
And it's kinda frightening
                  D
Standing here waiting, waiting
    G             C
And I became hypnotized by freckles
         Em           D
And bright eyes, tongue tied

[Pre-Chorus]

     G    C
But now you're so far away
         Em    D                  
And I'm down feeling like a face 
        G    C
in the crowd
                  Em      D
I'm reaching for you, terrified

[Chorus]

       G                         
Cause you could be the one that I 
  C
love
Em                            D
I could be the one that you dream of
     G                      C
A message in a bottle is all I can 
do
   Em                     D
Standing here, hoping it gets to you
 G                              C
You could be the one that I keep, 
and I
      Em                           
Could be the reason you can't sleep 
D
at night
    G                     C
A message in a bottle is all I can 
do
   Em                     D

[Second Part]

  G               C
These days I'm restless
                Em                 
Workdays are endless, look how you 
   D
made me, made me
     G            C            
But time moves faster, replaying 
          Em        D
your laughter, disaster

[Pre-Chorus]

       G    C
Cause now you're so far away
         Em    D                  
And I'm down feeling like a face 
        G   C
in the crowd
                  Em      D
I'm reaching for you, terrified

[Chorus]

       G                         
Cause you could be the one that I 
  C
love
Em                            D
I could be the one that you dream of
     G                      C
A message in a bottle is all I can 
do
   Em                     D
Standing here, hoping it gets to you
 G                              C
You could be the one that I keep, 
and I
      Em                           
Could be the reason you can't sleep 
D
at night
    G                     C
A message in a bottle is all I can 
do
   Em                     D
Standing here, hoping it gets to you

[Bridge]

C                    D11
 How is it in London?
C                                  
 Where were you while I'm wonderin'
D11

C
 If I'll ever see you again?
G* C* Em* D*                   
         You could be the one 
      G*    C*
that I love, mmm
               Em*                 
And now I'm standing here, hoping 
   D*

[Chorus]

       G                         
Cause you could be the one that I 
  C
love
Em                            D
I could be the one that you dream of
     G                      C
A message in a bottle is all I can 
do
   Em                     D
Standing here, hoping it gets to you
 (it gets to you)
 G                              C
You could be the one that I keep, 
and I
      Em                           
Could be the reason you can't sleep 
D
at night

(I can't sleep at night)
    G                     C
A message in a bottle is all I can 
do (yeah, yeah)
   Em                     D
Standing here, hoping it gets to you
 (yeah, yeah)

[Outro]

G  C                           Em
  You could be the one that I love
 D                           G    
You could be the one that I love, 
        C
my love
               Em                
And now I'm standing, here hoping 
       D
this gets to you
