Mat Kearney - Ships In The Night: chords

                   F#m
Like ships in the night,
                     D
you keep passing me by
                    A
We're just wasting time
            E
Trying to prove who's right
          F#m                  D
And if it all goes crashing into the sea,
             A                    E
If its just you and me trying to find the light.

                   F#m
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
         F#m
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
                     F#m
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.

             F#m
I turn the lights down low
             D
Walk these halls alone
        A                E
We can feel so far from so close

Chorus:
                   F#m
Like ships in the night,
                     D
you keep passing me by
                    A
We're just wasting time
            E
Trying to prove who's right
          F#m                   D
And if it all goes crashing into the sea,
             A                    E
If its just you and me trying to find the light.
                     F#m
Like ships in the night,
                      D
you keep passing me by.
                      A
You keep passing me by,
                      E
like ships in the night.

And I'm at the airport waiting on a second plane
Had to pack and you had cramps and I was late
Headed to a red carpet they won't know my name
Riding in silence all that we wanna say
About to board when you call on the phone
You say "I'm sorry. I'll be waiting at home"
Feels like we're learning this out on our own
Trying to find a way down the road we don't know

Turn the lights down low
Walk these halls alone
We can feel so far from so close

Chorus:
Like ships in the night
You keep passing me by
We're just wasting time
Trying to prove who's right
And if it all goes crashing into the sea
If it's just you and me
Trying to find the light
Like ships in the night
You're passing me by
You're passing me by
Like ships in the night

F#m                       D                A E
And I'm gonna find my way back to your side
F#m                       D                A E
And I'm gonna find my way back to your side

Chorus:
Like ships in the night
You keep passing me by
We're just wasting time
Trying to prove who's right
And if it all goes crashing into the sea
If it's just you and me
Trying to find the light
Like ships in the night
You're passing me by
You're passing me by
Like ships in the night
