[Intro]
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.
[Verse 1]
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.
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
I turn the lights down low
C
Walk these halls alone
G D
We can feel so far from so close
[Chorus]
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.
[Verse 2]
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.
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
I turn the lights down low
C
Walk these halls alone
G D
We can feel so far from so close
[Chorus]
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.
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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.
