Intro: E  A  F#M  E  A  D 

   A             D7+ 
We walked to the sea 
          E         
Just my father and me 
       F#m          F#m/E         D7+ 
And the dogs played around on the sand 
  A                 D7+ 
Winter cold cut the air 
         E          
Hangin' still everywhere 
           F#m          F#m/E       D7+ D/E A7 
Dressed in gray, did he say Hold my hand 
                                D7+     D C#m Bm 
I said, love's easier when it's far away 
             Bm7+      Bm7    E 
We sat and watched a distant light 
           C         Em           F    F/G 
We're two ships that pass in the night 
         C           Em         F    F/G 
We both smile and we say it's alright 
       C 
We're still here 
                Em            F 
It's just that we're out of sight 
     E/G#   Am         G           F  G ( A7+  D7+ ) 
Like those ships that pass in the night 
          A            D7+ 
There's a boat on the line 
          E              
Where the sea meets the sky 
           F#m         F#m/E      D7+ 
There's another that rides far behind 
        A           D7+            E 
And it seems you and I are like strangers 
           F#m           F#m/E         D   D/E A7 
A wide ways apart as we drift on through time 
                                 D7+    D C#m Bm 
He said, it's harder now, we're far away 
         Bm7+    Bm7       E 
We only read you when you write 

We're two ships that pass in the night 
And we smile when we say it's alright 
We're still here 
It's just that we're out of sight 
Like those ships that pass in the night 
We're just ships that pass in the night 
And we smile when we say it's alright 
We're still here 
It's just that we're out of sight 
Like those ships that pass in the night 
We're just two ships that pass in the night 
And we smile when we say it's alright 
We're still here 
It's just that we're out of sight
