A5                                  C5           C5
Messages from broken bottles fall on black sandy beaches
A5                                      C5       C5
Ink in vain across the page now run from morning dew
A5                                                     C5
Hands which chance upon it lead to eyes which strain to read
C5                                  C5
Heart which pound from love long overdue
A5                                  C5     C5
Lips which press together, stifle rhythmic heavy breathes

           D5                                 C5      Bb5
Oh, how she cries from vicarious love from the one he writes about
    D5                         C5      Bb5
She must have been so glad for him to throw it out

        A5                              C5
Further steps lead to yet another broken bottle
C5
Again the words contained have bled the page
      A5                                C5
Whose tears were these which ran the ink
     C5
From who they'd pour to make this streak?
          A5                                                               C5
Were they his by chance from telling her or hers by chance from reading it?
     C5
they could have been collective
     C5
they could have been from someone else
A5
    Why don't we see whats at the bottom?
C5                C5
    Why don't we see what comes next

            D5                                 C5      Bb5
Oh, how she cries from vicarious pain from the one he writes about
    D5                        C5      Bb5
she must have been so sad for him to throw her out

               F5           A5
Let's just say she, she is better
D5        C5    Bb5
Better off somehow
               F5            A5
Let's just say she, she has never been
D5     C5            Bb5
Happier than she is now
            G5
We couldn't fake it so why even try?
               F5           A5
Let's just say she, she is better
D5        C5    Bb5
Better off somehow
               F5            A5
Let's just say she, she has never been
D5     C5            Bb5
Happier than she is now
               F5           A5
Let's just say she, she is better
D5        C5    Bb5
Better off somehow
               F5            A5
Let's just say she, she has never been
D5     C5            Bb5
Happier than she is now
