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

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

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


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


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

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

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

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

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