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 Csus4
Heart which pound from love long overdue
Am7 C C/F
Lips which press together, stifle rhythmic heavy breathes
Dm C Bb
Oh, how she cries from vicarious love from the one he writes about
Dm C Bb
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 Bb
Oh, how she cries from vicarious pain from the one he writes about
Dm C Bb
she must have been so sad for him to throw her out
F Am7
Let's just say she, she is better
Dm C Bb
Better off somehow
F Am7
Let's just say she, she has never been
Dm C Bb
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 Bb
Better off somehow
F Am7
Let's just say she, she has never been
Dm C Bb
Happier than she is now
F Am7
Let's just say she, she is better
Dm C Bb
Better off somehow
F Am7
Let's just say she, she has never been
Dm C Bb
Happier than she is now
