[Intro] D  Bm  G  A

D
Late last night
      G
I got an SOS
D
The fairytale girl's
    G
In deep distress
           Bm
She says, I don't know where I am
                A
But it's near Japan

D              G 
My engine's all burned out
D              G
My crew has all bailed out
             Bm
I don't know where I am
                         A
But it's somewhere near Japan

And she said
D
Rescue me, I'm somewhere
      Bm
In the China Sea
                   G        
I think I'm sinkin' fast
                        A
This call is probably my last
D                           Bm
I'm throwing out a life line

And I'm doing it
               G
For old time's sake

Though I know you're gonna
        A 
Break my heart one more time

D
Late last night
      G
I got an SOS
D
The fairytale girl's
    G
In deep distress
           Bm
She says, I don't know where I am
                A
But it's near Japan

D              G 
My engine's all burned out
D              G
My crew has all bailed out
             Bm
I don't know where I am
                         A
But it's somewhere near Japan

And she said

D
Thank you dear, I think she sounded
Bm
Quite sincere
                      G
And when she turned to go

She said, I crave adventure
         A
Don't you know

( D  G  Bm  G  A )

    D
And now she's trippin'
       G
On some Chinese junk
D
Her world is spinning
        G
And her hope has sunk
     Bm
So I close my eyes
                      A
And I'm somewhere near Japan
D
The spinning stopped
       G
And the world stood still
D
I broke her fall
       Bm
And I always will
             G
Strung out in no man's land
                  A
Somewhere near Japan

D        G
Rescue me
