Tone: [Gbm]
Intro: Riff
Like ships in the n[Gbm]night,
you keep passing me [D]by
We're just wasting t[A]time
Trying to pr[E]prove who's right
And if it [Gbm]all goes crashing into th[D]the sea,
If its just y[A]you and me trying to fi[E]find the light.
Like ships in the n[Gbm]night letting cannon balls flying,
Say what you m[D]mean and turn to a fight
And fists fly[A]fly from my mouth, it turns south,
you're down the[E]the driveway and I'm on the couch
Chasing d[Gbm]dreams since the violent 5th grade,
Trying to be[D]believe in your silent own way
Cause we'll be [A]okay, I'm not going away
like you watching at four[E]fourteen as it went down the drain
And pops stayed the s[Gbm]same, and your moms moved away
How many of our p[D]parents seemed to make it anyway?
We're just f[A]fumbling through the grey,
Trying find a h[E]heart that's not walking away.
I turn the li[Gbm]lights down low
Walk these ha[D]halls alone
We can f[A]feel so far from so[E]so close
Like ships in the n[Gbm]night,
you keep passing me [D]by
We're just wasting t[A]time
Trying to pr[E]prove who's right
And if it [Gbm]all goes crashing into th[D]the sea,
If its just y[A]you and me trying to fi[E]find the light.
Like ships in the nig[Gbm]night,
you keep passing me by[D]by.
You keep passing me by[A]by,
like ships in the nigh[E]night.
And I'm at the ai[Gbm]airport waiting on a second plane,
Had to p[D]pack, you had cramps and I was late
Headed to a r[A]red carpet, they won't know my name
Riding in s[E]silence all that we wanna say
About to b[Gbm]board when you call on the phone
You said, "I'm s[D]sorry I'll be waiting at home."
Feels like we're l[A]learning this out on our own
Trying to find our [E]way down road we don't know.
I turn the li[Gbm]lights down low
Walk these ha[D]halls alone
We can f[A]feel so far from so[E]so close
Like ships in the n[Gbm]night,
you keep passing me [D]by
We're just wasting t[A]time
Trying to pr[E]prove who's right
And if it [Gbm]all goes crashing into th[D]the sea,
If its just y[A]you and me trying to fi[E]find the light.
Like ships in the nig[Gbm]night,
you keep passing me by[D]by.
You keep passing me by[A]by,
like ships in the nigh[E]night.
[Gbm] And I'm gonna find my way [D]
back to your side [A] [E]
[Gbm] And I'm gonna find my way [D]back to your side [A] [E]
Like ships in the n[Gbm]night,
you keep passing me [D]by
We're just wasting t[A]time
Trying to pr[E]prove who's right
And if it [Gbm]all goes crashing into th[D]the sea,
If its just y[A]you and me trying to fi[E]find the light.
Like ships in the nig[Gbm]night,
you keep passing me by[D]by.
You keep passing me by[A]by,
like ships in the nigh[E]night.
