F#m Like ships in the night, D you keep passing me by A We're just wasting time E Trying to prove who's right F#m D And if it all goes crashing into the sea, A E If its just you and me trying to find the light. F#m Like ships in the night letting cannon balls flying, D Say what you mean and turn to a fight A And fists fly from my mouth, it turns south, E you're down the driveway and I'm on the couch F#m Chasing dreams since the violent 5th grade, D Trying to believe in your silent own way A Cause we'll be okay, I'm not going away E like you watching at fourteen as it went down the drain F#m And pops stayed the same, and your moms moved away D How many of our parents seemed to make it anyway? A We're just fumbling through the grey, E Trying find a heart that's not walking away. F#m I turn the lights down low D Walk these halls alone A E We can feel so far from so close Chorus: F#m Like ships in the night, D you keep passing me by A We're just wasting time E Trying to prove who's right F#m D And if it all goes crashing into the sea, A E If its just you and me trying to find the light. F#m Like ships in the night, D you keep passing me by. A You keep passing me by, E like ships in the night. And I'm at the airport waiting on a second plane Had to pack and you had cramps and I was late Headed to a red carpet they won't know my name Riding in silence all that we wanna say About to board when you call on the phone You say "I'm sorry. I'll be waiting at home" Feels like we're learning this out on our own Trying to find a way down the road we don't know Turn the lights down low Walk these halls alone We can feel so far from so close Chorus: Like ships in the night You keep passing me by We're just wasting time Trying to prove who's right And if it all goes crashing into the sea If it's just you and me Trying to find the light Like ships in the night You're passing me by You're passing me by Like ships in the night F#m D A E And I'm gonna find my way back to your side F#m D A E And I'm gonna find my way back to your side Chorus: Like ships in the night You keep passing me by We're just wasting time Trying to prove who's right And if it all goes crashing into the sea If it's just you and me Trying to find the light Like ships in the night You're passing me by You're passing me by Like ships in the night | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA  D  E  F#m  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
