[Verse 1]
Ebm
Summer passed by before I could bat an eye
A#/D
Tequila sunsets and bleak sunrises
C#
Because no more long days now, no more prize fighting
Cdim7
I'll even cut down on the drinking, just please no more surprises
Bmaj7
I see her wave to me, covered it from A to Z
Bmaj7/A# A#
With a look so heavenly that she' s no longer giving me
[Verse 2]
Ebm
Ships pass by outside the window in my room
A#/D
They only know where they've been and where they're going to
C#
They pass so mightily, steady in their gaze
Cdim7
They pass by each other without so much as a wave
Bmaj7
Ships in the night are we, convinced we're gonna be
Bmaj7/A# A#
Reunited come the day
[Chorus 1]
Ebm
My brother, how you been while I've been blinded by my own?
A#/D
Worries and stories and this sense that I'm alone
C#
Heaven zips by a million more ships in the night
Cdim7
And and trillion tons of gases from a billion silly asses
Bmaj7
And I still pray for the masses as we fight the bloody fight
Bmaj7/A# A#
But bodies cannot stop these jacked up, gakked up ships in the night
[Verse 3]
Ebm
And I reach out in the darkness for some body I might hold
A#/D
I reach out to the cosmos by staring at my phone
C#
I reach a state of ecstasy, I return to despair
Cdim7
I remain educated, well-informed, and unaware
Bmaj7
But my sister, my sister, I swear that I am good
Bmaj7/A# A#
Reach your arms around me and tell me that I'm understood
Ebm
I can't believe the things for which I'm forced to take a stand
A#/D
I can't believe that I'm the problem, not the plan
C#
I can't believe that we elected that man
Cdim7
Yes I can, yes I can, yes I can, yes I can
Bmaj7
Ships in the night are we, miss other entirely
Bmaj7/A# A#
From cradle to the grave without so much as a wave
[Chorus 2]
Ebm
And my my, hey hey, looks like the sky is falling down
A#/D
No, it's my time, it's your time, it's all just coming 'round
C#
Run up the mountain and hide out while you can
Cdim7
There's a storm coming full of lonely disaffected angry men
Bmaj7
And father time knows the way the cancer grows inside of me
Bmaj7/A# A#
And who will hold my hand when I'm in my final bed?
[Outro]
Ebm
When ships in the night are we
A#/D
Ships in the night are we
C#
Miss each other entirely
Cdim7
Ships in the night are we
Bmaj7
Someone shine your light on me
Bmaj7/A#
Someone shine your light on me
A#
Ships in the night are we
