Dm
The champagne, you showered down on my pain
                  F
The lights fade, running 'round in blind faith
A#
Las Vegas surrounded by the lost figures
                                        C
Alligators, they chew me up and spit me out
You know I've been burning out
Dm                        A#
I've been calling out for you
I've been calling out for you, yeah

Chorus:
F
SOS, save my soul
I've been drowning for too long
A#
SOS, save my soul, you know
'Cause you know
                      C
You gotta throw me a lifeline
Throw me your heart
Dm                  A#
I've been waiting a lifetime
                           C             Dm
I'm calling for an SOS to save my soul tonight

Propeller, spinning me away forever (Spinning me)
Umbrella, shelter me from stormy weather (Shelter me)
Lines severed, but I know you've been looking out
But you can hear me calling out

It's you I'm forever in debt to
Never been the same since the day that I met you
Going down, can you come to my rescue? (Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Chorus:
SOS, save my soul
I've been drowning for too long
SOS, save my soul, you know
'Cause you know
You gotta throw me a lifeline (You gotta throw me a lifeline)
Throw me your heart (Just throw me your heart)
I've been waiting a lifetime (I've been waiting a lifetime)
I'm calling for an SOS to save my soul tonight

F
Ah-ah, ah-ah
SOS
A#
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Yeah, ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy

                      C
You gotta throw me a lifeline
(You gotta throw me a lifeline)
Throw me your heart (Just throw me your heart)
Dm                   A#
I've been waiting a lifetime
(I've been waiting a lifetime)
                           C              Dm
I'm calling for an SOS to save my soul tonight

Dm
Ooh, it's you I'm forever in debt to
                               F
Never been the same since the day that
I met you (You, ooh)
A#
Going down, can you come to my rescue?

Chorus:
I'm calling for an SOS to save my soul
I've been drowning for too long
SOS, save my soul, 'cause you know
You know, oh
SOS, save my soul (I've been drowning for too long)
I've been drowning for too long
SOS, save my soul, you know (I've been waiting for too long)
'Cause you know (I've been waiting for your lifeline)
You gotta throw me a lifeline
(I've been waiting for you, ooh)
Throw me your heart (I've been waiting for you, oh, oh)
I've been waiting a lifetime (I need your lifeline)
I'm calling for an SOS to save my soul tonight

Champagne, showered down on my pain (SOS)
Lights fade, running 'round in blind faith
(Yeah, ayy, ayy-ayy, throw me a lifeline)
Las Vegas surrounded by the last fakers
(Throw me your heart, I've been waiting a lifetime)
Alligators, they chew me up and spit me out
(Calling for an SOS to save my soul tonight)
