Mat Kearney - Ships In The Night (Remix Lyric Video) ft. Nick Brewer chords
Start Jamming...
[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
[F#m] [F#] [N]
