Chords and lyrics for Ships In The Night by Mat Kearney (key of C).
Verse 1
[Em7] [Cadd9] [G] [D/F#]
Intro
Like ships in the [Em]night,
you keep passing me [C]by
We're just wasting [G]time
Trying to [D]prove who's right
And if it [Em]all goes crashing into [C]the sea,
If its just [G]you and me trying to [D]find the light.
Verse 1
Like ships in the [Em]night letting cannon balls flying,
Say what you [C]mean and turn to a fight
And fists fly[G] from my mouth, it turns south,
you're down the[D] driveway and I'm on the couch
Chasing [Em]dreams since the violent 5th grade,
Trying to [C]believe in your silent own way
Cause we'll be [G]okay, I'm not going away
like you watching at [D]fourteen as it went down the drain
And pops stayed the [Em]same, and your moms moved away
How many of our [C]parents seemed to make it anyway?
We're just [G]fumbling through the grey,
Trying find a [D]heart that's not walking away.
Pre-Chorus
I turn the [Em]lights down low
Walk these [C]halls alone
We can [G]feel so far from so[D] close
Chorus
Like ships in the [Em]night,
you keep passing me [C]by
We're just wasting [G]time
Trying to [D]prove who's right
And if it [Em]all goes crashing into [C]the sea,
If its just [G]you and me trying to [D]find the light.
Like ships in the [Em]night,
you keep passing me [C]by.
You keep passing me [G]by,
like ships in the [D]night.
Verse 2
And I'm at the [Em]airport waiting on a second plane,
Had to [C]pack, you had cramps and I was late
Headed to a [G]red carpet, they won't know my name
Riding in [D]silence all that we wanna say
About to [Em]board when you call on the phone
You said, "I'm [C]sorry I'll be waiting at home."
Feels like we're [G]learning this out on our own
Trying to find our [D]way down road we don't know.
Pre-Chorus
I turn the [Em]lights down low
Walk these [C]halls alone
We can [G]feel so far from so[D] close
Chorus
Like ships in the [Em]night,
you keep passing me [C]by
We're just wasting [G]time
Trying to [D]prove who's right
And if it [Em]all goes crashing into [C]the sea,
If its just [G]you and me trying to [D]find the light.
Like ships in the [Em]night,
you keep passing me [C]by.
You keep passing me [G]by,
like ships in the [D]night.
Bridge
[Em] And I'm gonna find my way[C] back to your side [G][D]
[Em] And I'm gonna find my way[C] back to your side [G][D]
Chorus
Like ships in the [Em]night,
you keep passing me [C]by
We're just wasting [G]time
Trying to [D]prove who's right
And if it [Em]all goes crashing into [C]the sea,
If its just [G]you and me trying to [D]find the light.
Like ships in the [Em]night,
you keep passing me [C]by.
You keep passing me [G]by,
like ships in the [D]night.
