EbmSummer passed by before I could bat an eye A#/DTequila sunsets and bleak sunrises C#Because no more long days now, no more prize fighting Cdim7I'll even cut down on the drinking, just please no more surprises Bmaj7I see her wave to me, covered it from A to Z Bmaj7/A#With a look so heavenly tA#hat she' s no longer giving me
[Verse 2]
EbmShips pass by outside the window in my room A#/DThey only know where they've been and where they're going to C#They pass so mightily, steady in their gaze Cdim7They pass by each other without so much as a wave Bmaj7Ships in the night are we, convinced we're gonna be Bmaj7/A#Reunited comeA# the day
[Chorus 1]
EbmMy brother, how you been while I've been blinded by my own? A#/DWorries and stories and this sense that I'm alone C#Heaven zips by a million more ships in the night Cdim7And and trillion tons of gases from a billion silly asses Bmaj7And I still pray for the masses as we fight the bloody fight Bmaj7/A#But bodies cannot stop these jacked up, gakked up ships in the nA#ight
[Verse 3]
EbmAnd I reach out in the darkness for some body I might hold A#/DI reach out to the cosmos by staring at my phone C#I reach a state of ecstasy, I return to despair Cdim7I remain educated, well-informed, and unaware Bmaj7But my sister, my sister, I swear that I am good Bmaj7/A#Reach your arms around me and tell me that I'mA# understood
EbmI can't believe the things for which I'm forced to take a stand A#/DI can't believe that I'm the problem, not the plan C#I can't believe that we elected that man Cdim7Yes I can, yes I can, yes I can, yes I can Bmaj7Ships in the night are we, miss other entirely Bmaj7/A#From cradle to the grave without so mA#uch as a wave
[Chorus 2]
EbmAnd my my, hey hey, looks like the sky is falling down A#/DNo, 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 Cdim7There's a storm coming full of lonely disaffected angry men Bmaj7And father time knows the way the cancer grows inside of me Bmaj7/A#And who will hold my hand when I'm in my finalA# bed?
[Outro]
EbmWhen ships in the night are we A#/DShips in the night are we C#Miss each other entirely Cdim7Ships in the night are we Bmaj7Someone shine your light on me Bmaj7/A#Someone shine your light on me A#Ships in the night are we
