Intro: G

Verse 1:
   G               C
I know that you like me
                   Em                        D
And it's kinda frightening standing here waiting, waiting
    G             C                          Em           D
And I became hypnotized by freckles and bright eyes, tongue tied

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

Chorus:
       G                           C
Cause you could be the one that I 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                           D
Could be the reason you can't sleep at night
    G                     C
a message in a bottle is all I can do
   Em                     D           (nc)
Standing here, hoping it gets to you

Verse 2:
  G               C
These days I'm restless
                Em                    D
Workdays are endless, look how you made me, made me
     G            C                      Em        D
But time moves faster, replaying your laughter, disaster

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

Chorus:
       G                           C
Cause you could be the one that I 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                           D
Could be the reason you can't sleep at night
    G                     C
a message in a bottle is all I can do
   Em                     D
Standing here, hoping it gets to you

Bridge:

 Where were you while I'm wonderin'
C
 If I'll ever see you again?
G  C  Em  D                          G     C
         You could be the one that I love, mmm
               Em                     D
And now I'm standing here, hoping it gets to you

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                           D
Could be the reason you can't sleep 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)

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