Ships

There's We (Ab)walked to the (Dbmaj7)sea,

just my (Eb)father 'n' (C7)me, and the (Fm)dogs played (Ab)around on the (Dbmaj7)sand.

(Db)(Eb)Winter (Ab)cold cut the (Dbmaj7)air, hangin' (Eb)still (C7)ev'rywhere.

Dressed in (Fm)gray, did he (Ab)say,

"Hold my (Dbmaj7)hand"?

(Ab7)I said, "Love's easier when it's (Db)far away."

(Bbm)We sat 'n' watched a distant (Eb)light.

(Db)We're (Eb)two (B)ships that (D#m)pass in the (E)night,

(F#7sus)we both (B)smile and we (D#m)say it's (E)alright.

(F#7sus)We're still (B)here, it's just that (D#m7)we're out of (Emaj7)sight,

like those (G#m)ships that (F#)pass in the (Emaj7)night.

(Db)There's a (Ab)boat on the (Dbmaj7)line where the (Eb)sea meets the (C7)sky;

there's (Fm)another that (Ab)rides far (Dbmaj7)behind.

(Db)And (Eb)it (Ab)seems you and (Dbmaj7)I are like (Eb)strangers a (C7)wide ways (Fm)apart as we (Ab)drift on through (Dbmaj7)time.

(Ab7)He said, "It's harder now, we're (Db)far away.

(Bbm)We only read you when you (Eb)write."

(Db)We're (Eb)two (B)ships that (D#m)pass in the (E)night,

(F#7sus)and we (B)smile when we (D#m)say it's (E)alright.

(F#7sus)We're still (B)here, it's just that (D#m7)we're out of (Emaj7)sight,

like those (G#m)ships that (F#)pass in the (Emaj7)night.

(Emaj7)night. (D#m7)(Em7)We're (A)just (F)ships that (Am7)pass in the (Bbmaj7)night,

(C)and we (Dm7)smile when we (Am7)say it's (Bbmaj7)alright.

(C)We're (A)still (F)here, it's just that (Am7)we're out of (Bbmaj7)sight,

(C)like (A)those (Dm)ships that (C)pass in the (Bbmaj7)night.

(C)We're just (F)ships that (Am7)pass in the (Bbmaj7)night,
