[C] [Ebm] [Bb]
[D] [Bbm] [Ebm] [Bbm] [C]
[B]
[Eb] [Ebm] [Bb] [Ebm] Summer passed by before I could bat an [Bb] eye.
Tequila sunsets, bleak sunrises.
[Bbm] There's no more long days now, no more prize fighting.
I'll even [C] cut down on the drink and just please no more [Gm] surprises.
[B] I see her wave to me, covered it [Ebm] from A to Z.
With a look so [Bb] heavenly that she's no longer giving me.
[Ebm] Ships pass by outside the window in my room.
[D] They only know [Bb] where they've been and where they're going to.
[Bbm] They pass so mightily, steady in their gaze.
They [C] pass by each other without so much as a wave.
[B] Ships in the night are we, convinced [Ebm] we're gonna be
reunited [Bb] come the day.
[Ebm] Hey my brother, how you been?
Well I've been blinded by my [Dm] own
[D] worries and stories [Bb] in this sense that I'm alone.
[Bbm]
Heaven zips by a million more ships in the night
[C] and a trillion tons of gases from a billion silly [Cm] asses.
[B] And I still pray for the masses as we fight the bloody [Ebm] fight.
But bodies cannot stop these [Bb] jacked up, gacked up ships in the night.
[Ebm] And I reach out in the darkness for somebody I might hold.
[D] I [Bb] reach out to the cosmos by staring at my [Bbm] phone.
I reach a state of ecstasy, I return to [C] despair.
I remain educated, well informed and unaware.
[B] But my sister, my sister, I swear that I am good.
[Ebm] Reach your arms [Bb] around me and tell me that I'm understood.
[Fm] [Ebm] I can't believe the things for which I'm forced to take a [Bb] stand.
I can't believe that I'm the problem, not the plan.
[Bbm]
I can't believe that we elected that man.
[C] Yes I can, yes I can, yes I can, yes I [Gm] can.
[B] Ships in the night are we, miss each other [Ebm] entirely.
From cradle to the grave, [Bb] without so much as a way.
[Ebm] In my mind, hey hey, looks like the sky is falling [Bb] down.
No it's, it's my time, it's your time, it's all just coming [Bbm] around.
Run up the mountain and hide out while you [C] can.
There's a storm coming full of lonely, disaffected, angry men.
[B] Father time knows the way, the cancer grows inside [Eb] of me.
And who will hold [Bb] my hand when I'm in my final bed?
When ships [Ebm] in the night are we, [Bb] ships in the night are we.
[D] [Bbm] Miss each other entirely.
Ships [C] in the night are we.
[Gm] Someone [B] shine your light on me.
[Ebm] Someone shine your light on [Bb] me.
[G] Ships in [Ebm] the night are we.
[Eb] [N]
