Ships In The Night

	  		

 

                   Em 
Like ships in the night,  
                    C 
you keep passing me by 
                    G 
We're just wasting time 
            D 
Trying to prove who's right 
          Em                      C 
And if it all goes crashing into the sea, 
             G                     D 
If its just you and me trying to find the light. 

                   Em 
Like ships in the night letting cannon balls flying, 
              C 
Say what you mean and turn to a fight  
             G 
And fists fly from my mouth, it turns south,  
               D 
you're down the driveway and I'm on the couch 
         Em 
Chasing dreams since the violent 5th grade, 
            C 
Trying to believe in your silent own way 
               G 
Cause we'll be okay, I'm not going away 
                         D 
like you watching at fourteen as it went down the drain 
                     Em 
And pops stayed the same, and your moms moved away 
                 C 
How many of our parents seemed to make it anyway? 
            G 
We're just fumbling through the grey, 
               D 
Trying find a heart that's not walking away. 

             Em 
I turn the lights down low 
             C 
Walk these halls alone 
        G                 D 
We can feel so far from so close 


                   Em 
Like ships in the night,  
                    C 
you keep passing me by 
                    G 
We're just wasting time 
            D 
Trying to prove who's right 
          Em                      C 
And if it all goes crashing into the sea, 
             G                     D 
If its just you and me trying to find the light. 
                     Em 
Like ships in the night, 
                      C 
you keep passing me by. 
                      G 
You keep passing me by, 
                      D 
like ships in the night. 


                 Em 
And I'm at the airport waiting on a second plane, 
        C 
Had to pack, you had cramps and I was late 
             G 
Headed to a red carpet, they won't know my name 
           D 
Riding in silence all that we wanna say 
          Em 
About to board when you call on the phone 
                C 
You said, "I'm sorry I'll be waiting at home." 
                  G 
Feels like we're learning this out on our own 
                   D 
Trying to find our way down road we don't know. 

             Em 
I turn the lights down low 
             C 
Walk these halls alone 
        G                 D 
We can feel so far from so close 

                   Em 
Like ships in the night,  
                    C 
you keep passing me by 
                    G 
We're just wasting time 
            D 
Trying to prove who's right 
          Em                      C 
And if it all goes crashing into the sea, 
             G                     D 
If its just you and me trying to find the light. 
                     Em 
Like ships in the night, 
                      C 
you keep passing me by. 
                      G 
You keep passing me by, 
                      D 
like ships in the night. 

Em                         C                   G    D               
  And I'm gonna find my way back to your side  
Em                         C                   G    D 
  And I'm gonna find my way back to your side  

                   Em 
Like ships in the night,  
                    C 
you keep passing me by 
                    G 
We're just wasting time 
            D 
Trying to prove who's right 
          Em                      C 
And if it all goes crashing into the sea, 
             G                     D 
If its just you and me trying to find the light. 
                     Em 
Like ships in the night, 
                      C 
you keep passing me by. 
                      G 
You keep passing me by, 
                      D 
like ships in the night.
