CAPO: I
VERSE 1:
G Em D B7
We walked to the sea, just my father and me,
Em D C
and the dogs played around on the sand.
G Em D B7
Winter cold cut the air hangin still everywhere,
Em D C D
dressed in gray, did he say, Hold my hand ?
G G7 C
I said, Loves easier when its far away.
Am C D
We sat and watched a distant light.
CHORUS:
Bb Dm D# F
Were two ships that pass in the night,
Bb Dm D# F
we both smile and we say its alright.
Bb Dm D#
Were still here, its just that were out of sight,
Bb F D# F
like those ships that pass in the ni.....ght.
VERSE 2:
G Em D B7
Theres a boat on the line, where the sea meets the sky,
Em D C
theres another that rides far behind.
G Em D B7
and it seems you and I are like strangers, a wide
Em D C D
ways apart as we drift on through time.
G G7 C
He said, its harder now, were far away,
Am C D
we only read you when you write.
REPEAT CHORUS
