Em
like ships in the night ,
C
you keep passing me by
G
we’re just wasting time
D
trying to prove who’s right
Em C
and if it all goes crashing into the sea ,
G D
if its just you and me trying to find the light .

Em
like ships in the night letting cannon balls flying ,
C
say what you mean and turn to a fight
G
and fists fly from my mouth , it turns south ,
D
you’re down the driveway and i’m on the couch
Em
chasing dreams since the violent 5th grade ,
C
trying to believe in your silent own way
G
cause we’ll be okay , i’m not going away
D
like you watching at fourteen as it went down the drain
Em
and pops stayed the same , and your moms moved away
C
how many of our parents seemed to make it anyway?
G
we’re just fumbling through the grey ,
D
trying find a heart that’s not walking away .

Em
i turn the lights down low
C
walk these halls alone
G D
we can feel so far from so close

Em
like ships in the night ,
C
you keep passing me by

G

Em
and i’m at the airport waiting on a second plane ,
C
had to pack , you had cramps and i was late
G
headed to a red carpet , they won’t know my name
D
riding in silence all that we wanna say
Em
about to board when you call on the phone
C
you said , “i’m sorry i’ll be waiting at home . ”
G
feels like we’re learning this out on our own
D
trying to find our way down road we don’t know .

Em
i turn the lights down low
C
walk these halls alone

we can feel so far from so close
