[Am]
[F#m] Like ships in the night, you [D] keep passing me by
We're [A] just wasting time, trying to prove who's right
[F#m] And you feel all ghosts crashing into [D] the sea
[A] If it's just you and me, trying to find a [D] lie
[E] Like ships in [F#m] the night, letting cannonballs fly
[D] Say what you mean, then it turns to a fight
[A] This is a clap of my mouth as it turns south
[E] You're down the driveway, I'm on the couch
[F#m] I've been chasing your dreams since the violent 5th grade
[D] Trying to believe in your silent own way
[A] Cause we'll be okay, I'm not going away
But [E] you watched it 14, this would be down the drain
[F#m] Hip-hop stayed the same and your mom screwed away
[D] How many of our parents seem to make it anyway?
[A] We're just fumbling through the grey
Trying to find a heart that's not walking away
[F#m] Turning lights down low, [D] all this alone
[A] Can feel so far, [E] so close
Like [F#m] ships in the night, you keep [D] passing me by
We're just [A] wasting time, trying to prove who's [F#m] right
And you feel all ghosts crashing [D] into the sea
If it's just [A] you and me, trying to find a lie
Like ships [F#m] in the night, [D] passing me by
[A] Passing me by, like ships in the night
[F#m] I'm at the airport waiting on a second plane
[D] Had to pack and you cramps and I was late
[A] Here to tour, red carpet, they want no money
[E] Riding in silence, all that we wanna say
Get [F#m] out to board when you call on the phone
[D] You say I'm sorry I'll be waiting at home
[A] Feels like we're learning this out on our own
Trying to find a way down a road we don't know
[F#m] Turning lights down low, [D] this all alone
[A] We can feel so far, [E] so close
Like [F#m] ships in the night, you keep [D] passing me by
We're just [A] wasting time, trying to prove who's [F#m] right
And you feel all ghosts crashing [D] into the sea
If it's just [A] you and me, trying to find a lie
Like ships in [F#m] the night, [D] passing me by
