Lyrics and chords:

Capo 2

Em

Like ships in the night,

C

you keep passing me by

G

We're just wasting time

D

Trying to prove who's right

Em C

And if it all goes crashing into the sea,

G D

If its just you and me trying to find the light.

Em

Like ships in the night letting cannon balls flying,

C

Say what you mean and turn to a fight

G

And fists fly from my mouth, it turns south,

D

you're down the driveway and I'm on the couch

Em

Chasing dreams since the violent 5th grade,

C

Trying to believe in your silent own way

G

Cause we'll be okay, I'm not going away

D

like you watching at fourteen as it went down the drain

Em

And pops stayed the same, and your moms moved away

C

How many of our parents seemed to make it anyway?

G

We're just fumbling through the grey,

D

Trying find a heart that's not walking away.

Em

I turn the lights down low

C

Walk these halls alone

G D

We can feel so far from so close

Em

Like ships in the night,

C

you keep passing me by

G

We're just wasting time

D

Trying to prove who's right

Em C

And if it all goes crashing into the sea,

G D

If its just you and me trying to find the light.

Em

Like ships in the night,

C

you keep passing me by.

G

You keep passing me by,

D

like ships in the night.

Em

And I'm at the airport waiting on a second plane,

C

Had to pack, you had cramps and I was late

G

Headed to a red carpet, they won't know my name

D

Riding in silence all that we wanna say

Em

About to board when you call on the phone

C

You said, "I'm sorry I'll be waiting at home."

G

Feels like we're learning this out on our own

D

Trying to find our way down road we don't know.

Em

I turn the lights down low

C

Walk these halls alone

G D

We can feel so far from so close

Em

Like ships in the night,

C

you keep passing me by

G

We're just wasting time

D

Trying to prove who's right

Em C

And if it all goes crashing into the sea,

G D

If its just you and me trying to find the light.

Em

Like ships in the night,

C

you keep passing me by.

G

You keep passing me by,

D

like ships in the night.

Em C G D

And I'm gonna find my way back to your side

Em C G D

And I'm gonna find my way back to your side

Em

Like ships in the night,

C

you keep passing me by

G

We're just wasting time

D

Trying to prove who's right

Em C

And if it all goes crashing into the sea,

G D

If its just you and me trying to find the light.

Em

Like ships in the night,

C

you keep passing me by.

G

You keep passing me by,

D

like ships in the night.

Hey Rees, I wish I could, but I have a tough time describing strum patterns via typing. Various people have asked the same thing here! The best thing I can say is try to follow along with the vid. And, I put the chords in the description box; I hope that's helpful!

Forget that last comment. Didn't look at the rest of your channel. Great Job.

Yo boii, you are really good but what I recommend to take your music and youtube channel to the next level is: 1. Get a nicer guitar. ie. Taylor, Martin, or even just a Takamine 2. Use two separate microphones for the guitar and voice, what this will do is emphasize both instraments and in effect, make you look more professional. Probably going to cost you some money, but if you're serious about this, it will make a dramatic difference Thanks for making the awsome videos.
