Verse:
Ab                 Bb B
I sat by the ocean
              Gb              Ab       Gb  E
And drank the potion baby to erase you
                  Dbm                     Ab
Face down in the Boulevard yet I couldn't face you
Ab                           Bb B
There ain't no use in crying
           Gb                        Ab                   Gb E
It doesn't change anything, so baby what good does it do?
                       Db              Ab
Your friends they all sympathize, maybe I don't need them to

Pre-chorus:
E           Gb       Ab
Imagine I'd be your one and only
E               Gb      Ab
Instead I'm the lonely one
E    Gb         Ab7
You, me, and a lie

Chorus:
Dbm         Gb
Silence is closer
      Ab7                   E
We're passing ships in the night

Verse:
Ab                 Bb B
There's nowhere to run away
              Gb              Ab       Gb  E
Said, 'Boy if you want love, you'll have to go and find it with someone new'
                  Dbm                      Ab
'Do you know who you really are? Are you sure it's really you'?
Ab                           Bb B
Lies are a funny thing
           Gb                        Ab                   Gb E
They slip through your fingertips because they never happened to you
                       Db               Ab
Time wounds all the heals as we fade out of view

Pre-chorus:
E           Gb       Ab
Imagine I'd be your one and only
E               Gb      Ab
Instead I'm the lonely one
E    Gb         Ab7
You, me, and a lie

Chorus:
Dbm         Gb
Silence is closer
      Ab7                   E
We're passing ships in the night

Pre-chorus:
E    Gb         Ab7
You, me, and a lie

Chorus:
Dbm         Gb
Silence is closer
      Ab7                   E
We're passing ships in the night
Ab7       E        Ab7                 E
Into the light, left with nowhere to hide

Instrumental: E Dbm Gb Ab7

Chorus:
Dbm         Gb
Closer and closer
      Ab7                    E
We're crashing ships in the night
