Intro

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

Verse 1

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

Pre-Chorus

I turn [Em]the lights down low
Walk th[C]ese halls alone
We ca[G]n feel so f[D]ar from so close

Chorus

Like ships [Em]in the night,
you keep p[C]assing me by
We're just [G]wasting time
Trying [D]to prove who's right
And if[Em] it all goes cras[C]hing into the sea,
If its j[G]ust you and me[D] trying to find the light.
Like ships in[Em] the night,
   C
you keep passing me by.
You keep pas[G]sing me by,
like ships in [D]the night.

Verse 2

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

Pre-Chorus

I turn [Em]the lights down low
Walk th[C]ese halls alone
We ca[G]n feel so f[D]ar from so close

Chorus

Like ships [Em]in the night,
you keep p[C]assing me by
We're just [G]wasting time
Trying [D]to prove who's right
And if[Em] it all goes cras[C]hing into the sea,
If its j[G]ust you and me[D] trying to find the light.
Like ships in[Em] the night,
you keep pas[C]sing me by.
You keep pas[G]sing me by,
like ships in [D]the night.

Bridge

 [Em]And I'm gonna f[C]ind my way b[G]ack[D] to your side
 [Em]And I'm gonna f[C]ind my way b[G]ack[D] to your side

Chorus

Like ships [Em]in the night,
you keep p[C]assing me by
   G
We're just wasting time
Trying [D]to prove who's right
And if[Em] it all goes cras[C]hing into the sea,
If its j[G]ust you and me[D] trying to find the light.
Like ships in[Em] the night,
you keep pas[C]sing me by.
You keep pas[G]sing me by,
like ships in [D]the night.
