Version 1Capo 2 Em7 Cadd9 G D/F# e|-3-----3-----3-----3---| b|-3-----3-----3-----3---| g|-0-----0-----0-----2---| d|-2-----2-----0-----0---| a|-2-----3-----2-----0---| e|-0-----0-----3-----2---| [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.
