Ships in the Night Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Eaug][E]
[Eaug][E][Em][G][Em][F#dim]
[F][Am]
[E]
[Am]Summer passed by before

[Verse 1]
I could [Eaug]bat an eye
Tequila [Eaug]sun sets and bleak sunrise[E]s
[G]There are no more long days now,
no more prize [Em]fighting
I’ll even [F#dim]give up on the drinking,
just please no more surprises
[F]I see her wave to me,
covered it from A to Z
[E]With a look so [Am]heavenly [E]that
she’s no longer giving me
[Am]Ships

[Verse 2]
pass by outside the
window in my room
[Eaug]They only know where they’ve been
and [E]where they’re going to
[Em]They [G]pass so mightily,
steady in their [Em]gaze
They [F#dim]pass by each other
without so much as a wave
[F]Ships in the night are we,
convinced we’re gonna [E]be
[Am]Reunited [E]come the day
My brother, [Am]how you been while I’ve been

[Verse 3]
[Am]
blinded by [E]my own
[Eaug]Worries and stories and this sense
[E]that I’m alone
[Em]Heaven z[G]ips by a million
more ships [Em]in the night
And and [F#dim]trillion tons of gases

[Verse 4]
from a billion silly asses
And I [F]still pray for the masses as
we fight the bloody fight
But [E]bodies cannot stop [Am]these jacked [E]up,
gakked up ships in the night
[Am]And I reach out in the darkness
for somebody I might hold
[Eaug]I reach out to the cosmos
by star[E]ing at my phone
[Em]I reach a state of[G] ecsta[Em]sy, I return

[Verse 5]
to despair
I [F#dim]remain educated,
well-informed, and and unaware
But my [F]sister, my sister,
I swear that I am good
[Esus4]Reach your [Am]arms around me and tell
me [E]that I’m understood
[Am]I can’t believe the things for which

[Verse 6]
[Am]
I'm forced [Eaug]to take a stand
[E]I can’t believe that I’m the problem,
[Eaug]not the [E]plan[Em]
I can’t believe [G]that we
[Em]elected that man
Yes I [F#dim]can, yes I can,
yes I can, yes I can
[F]Ships in the night are we,
miss other entirely
[Am]From cradl[E]e to t[Am]he grave
[E]without so much as a wave

[Verse 7]
And my [Am]my, hey hey,
looks like the sky is falling down
No, [Eaug]it's my time, it's your time,
[E]it's all just coming 'round
[Em]Run up the mountain and hide
out while you can
There's a [F#dim]storm coming full of lonely
disaffected angry men
[F]And father time knows the way
the cancer grows inside of me
An[E]d who will [Am]hold my hand when I'm
in [E]my final bed
When ships in the [Am]night are we

[Verse 8]
Ships [Eaug]in the night are we
Miss [E]each oth[G]er entirely[Em]
Ships in the [C]night [F#dim]are we
Someone shine [F]your light
on me
Someone shine [Am]your light
on [E]me
Ships in the night [Am]are we
