Chords for Ships Thats Don't Come In

_ _ [Db] _ _ [Dbm] _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ [Ab] I could tell he'd had a tough life by [Ebm] the way he sat and stared
And [Db] me, I'd come to push and shove, [Ab] so I pulled up a chair
We talked of roads untraveled, [Ebm] we talked of love untrue
[Db] Of strings that come unraveled, we [Ab] were kings and kindred fools
[Bbm] And just when I'd hit bottom, [Eb] that old man raised his glass
And [Bbm] said, at least we've had our chances, [Eb] there's those who never have
[Db] So here's to all the [Eb] soldiers who have ever died in [Fm] vain
[Bbm] The insane locked [Eb] up in themselves, [Ab] the homeless down on [Bbm] Maine
To [Db] those who stand on empty shores [Cm] and stand against the [Db] wind
And those who wait forever for ships [Ab] that don't come in
_ _ _ _ He said, it's only life's illusions [Gb] that bring us to this bar
[Db] To pick up these old crutches and [Ab] compare each other's scars
Cause the things we're calling heartaches, [Gb] hell, they're hardly worth our time
[Db] We bitch about a dollar when [Ab] there's those without a dime
As [Bbm] he ordered one last [Ab] round, the homeless down on Maine
[Db] To those who [Eb] stand on empty [Cm] shores and stand [Db] against the wind
And those who wait forever for ships that [Ab] don't come in
And [Bbm] those who [Db] wait forever _ for ships that [Ab] don't come in
