Gbm Like ships in the night letting cannon balls flying, D Say what you mean and turn to a fight A And fists fly from my mouth, it turns south, E you're down the driveway and I'm on the couch Gbm Chasing dreams since the violent 5th grade, D Trying to believe in your silent own way A Cause we'll be okay, I'm not going away E like you watching at fourteen as it went down the drain Gbm And pops stayed the same, and your moms moved away D How many of our parents seemed to make it anyway? A We're just fumbling through the grey, E Trying find a heart that's not walking away. Gbm I turn the lights down low D Walk these halls alone A E We can feel so far from so close Gbm Like ships in the night, D you keep passing me by A We're just wasting time E Trying to prove who's right Gbm D And if it all goes crashing into the sea, A E If its just you and me trying to find the light. Gbm Like ships in the night, D you keep passing me by. A You keep passing me by, E like ships in the night. Gbm And I'm at the airport waiting on a second plane, D Had to pack, you had cramps and I was late A Headed to a red carpet, they won't know my name E Riding in silence all that we wanna say Gbm About to board when you call on the phone D You said, "I'm sorry I'll be waiting at home." A Feels like we're learning this out on our own E Trying to find our way down road we don't know. Gbm I turn the lights down low D Walk these halls alone A E We can feel so far from so close Gbm Like ships in the night, D you keep passing me by A We're just wasting time E Trying to prove who's right Gbm D And if it all goes crashing into the sea, A E If its just you and me trying to find the light. Gbm Like ships in the night, D you keep passing me by. A You keep passing me by, E like ships in the night. Gbm D A E And I'm gonna find my way back to your side Gbm D A E And I'm gonna find my way back to your side Gbm Like ships in the night, D you keep passing me by A We're just wasting time E Trying to prove who's right Gbm D And if it all goes crashing into the sea, A E If its just you and me trying to find the light. Gbm Like ships in the night, D you keep passing me by. A You keep passing me by, E like ships in the night.
