[A] Like [F#m] ships in the night, you [D] keep passing me by
time, trying to prove [E] who's right
the night, letting cannonballs fly
flop in my mouth as it turns south
your dreams since the violent fifth grade
okay, I'm not going away
stayed the same and your mom smoothed away
fumbling through the gray
time, trying to prove [E] who's right
the night, letting cannonballs fly
flop in my mouth as it turns south
your dreams since the violent fifth grade
okay, I'm not going away
stayed the same and your mom smoothed away
fumbling through the gray

[A] _ _ _ _ _ Like [F#m] ships in the night, you [D] keep passing me by
We're [A] just wasting time, trying to prove [E] who's right
Like [F#m] ships in the night, letting cannonballs fly
[D] Say what you mean and it turns to a fight
[A] Fist flop in my mouth as it turns south
[E] You're down the driveway, I'm on the couch
[F#m] Chasing your dreams since the violent fifth grade
[D] Trying to believe in your silent own way
[A] Cause we'll be okay, I'm not going away
You watched your 14ers [F#m] who went down the drain
Hip hop stayed the same and your mom smoothed away
[D] How many of our parents seem to make it anyway?
[A] We're just fumbling through the gray
Trying to find [F#m] a heart that's not walking away
Turn the lights down low, [D] walk these halls alone
[A] We can feel so far [E] from 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 right
And [F#m] if it all goes crashing [D] to the sea
If it's just [A] you and me, trying to find a life
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] Headed to a red carpet, they want no money
[E] Riding in silence, all that we [F#m] wanna say
Bout the bored when you call on the phone
[D] You say I'm sorry, I'll be waiting at home
[A] Feels like we're burning this out on our own
Trying to find a way down a road we don't know
[F#m] Turn the lights down low, [D] walk these halls alone
[A] We can feel so far [C#m] from so [E] 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 if it all goes crashing [D] to the sea
If it's just [A] you and me, trying to find a life
Like ships in the night
Ay, I'm getting seasick, I won't believe this
I thought that I could be [B] everything that you [C#] needed
But maybe not, I've been [B] crashing into these [A] waves and rocks
Your silence speaks louder than words and so you [F#m] say good luck
Without saying a thing, and it's [D] making me think
Don't wanna lose you, I'm having trouble [A] taking it in
My heart's beating faster than thought, hard to absorb
I'll sail against the current, [F#m] that's why I'm grasping these oars
I've gotta make it known that you ain't [D] alone
I'm in and out the boat, I'm just dragging this fake [A] flow
And I don't wanna be apart from you
Man, it's too hard to do, I'm getting sick of arguing
I wanna give my [F#m] heart to you
Just hold it close to yours, I really [D] know I'm yours
I'm stepping out on my ship and I hope you [A] open yours
No, I don't wanna drown in the sea
Because I know this isn't how it should be, well I
Life's like [F#m] ships in the night
You keep [D] watching me, boy, I'm just [A] wasting time
Trying to prove who's right
And [F#m] if it all goes crashing [D] into the sea
If it's just [A] you and me, trying to find a life
Life's like [F#m] ships in the night
_ [D] Passing me by, [A] passing me by
Like ships in the night

We're [A] just wasting time, trying to prove [E] who's right
